Welcome to our student newsletter titled ‘A Taste of Finance’.
It’s the Government of Jersey’s ambition to see more Islanders access rewarding jobs by 2037; encouraging home-grown talent to build successful careers in Jersey and attracting people with essential skills to help businesses develop.
At Jersey Finance, we believe we can contribute to this future target by working with young people like you, through our education initiatives and encourage you to discard the cliché that a job in finance is boring.
So with the aim of promoting a bright future in finance for young islanders, we wanted to create a newsletter that highlights key information about education events and initiatives in Jersey, the different roles available to you as well as relevant news about the industry and top tips on how to progress from your studies to securing a job.

Find Your Future in Finance
Over the past decade, almost 3,000 young Islanders found their first job within the finance sector. You can be a part of this thriving sector and embark on a career which will offer you innumerable opportunities, both professionally and personally, whilst being proud of the fact that your contribution is helping our Island remain prosperous, now and in the future.
You don’t need to be an expert number-cruncher, as there are a huge variety of roles available within the industry. These include administration, marketing, human resources, accountancy, legal, events and business development; so there really is a role to suit all skill-sets.
