How Life in Finance Works for Students
- Each year in the Winter term, students of Jersey’s schools and colleges are invited to apply for the Life in Finance scheme, usually with assistance from their school or college careers department (Jersey students studying off-Island can also join this scheme, please contact us directly for details).

- Finance firms will be in touch with students to agree on the placement start dates and duration.
- Start your one to two-week work experience placement with a Member firm to gain a vital overview of the industry and acquire valuable knowledge and experience for the duration of the placement.

Members That Took Part in 2022
Life in Finance 2022
After a short break, the Life in Finance Scheme was back for 2022!
We had students from five different schools take part in the scheme to learn about the diversity of roles our finance industry has to offer, develop their soft skills and make new connections within the industry.
Read more about the 2022 scheme in the Winter edition of the Gallery Magazine.
Life in Finance 2019
This summer, 36 students from six different schools and colleges took part in the scheme, learning about the variety of roles available within the industry and gaining a valuable insight into what finance is really about. Not only does this scheme help young people look to the future with more certainty around their career options, but for the firms themselves the scheme offers some real food for thought about the value our young people can add to the industry, learning from them too in the process.
Read more about the success of this year’s scheme in the 2019 October edition of Gallery magazine.
Life in Finance 2018
Learning and innovation have always been at the core of the Life in Finance programme, and this year was no different.
The 35 students from six different schools and colleges taking part in the scheme this year once again learnt a great deal about the variety of roles available within the industry and gained a valuable insight into what the industry is all about.
Life in Finance 2017
This year’s scheme saw 36 students undergo work experience placements in 25 finance firms and we wish to increase the success for next year’s scheme.
The feedback we received from both Members and students this year continues to illustrate the success of our scheme.
Life in Finance 2016
Yet another succesful year for Life in Finance! Through the scheme we successfully placed 41 students within 20 financial organisations, where students undertook placements in a range of different areas of finance.
Yet again, we received fantastic feedback from both the students and firms involved.
