A FTSE 250 company is seeking 20 graduates to join its Belfast team.

TP ICAP, which invested in Belfast in 2016, is seeking graduates to join a fast-paced and dynamic industry.

TP ICAP provides broking services, data and analytics and market intelligence to clients around the world. The company employs 5,000 staff across 73 locations in 31 countries.

With backing from the Department for the Economy, the new six week pre-employment TP ICAP Financial Services Academy will be delivered by Belfast Met and Ulster University and will provide in-depth, practical training, support and mentoring on the industry, specifics of the roles, technical aspects and professional skills.

Successful participants will gain industry recognised qualifications and potentially a final job interview to join the TP ICAP team.

Launching their first ever academy in Belfast, Rosie Gormley, head of TP ICAP Belfast said: “As part of our continued growth of our Belfast office, we are excited to launch our new Financial Services Academy in Belfast, supported by the Department for the Economy. This in-depth six week programme provides candidates with the core skills needed to take up exciting new roles in our back office operations function and specifically our Operational Services Group in Belfast."

“We have had a presence in Belfast since 2016 and to support our businesses globally we have recently moved into larger, brand new offices in City Quays 2, Belfast Harbour. This state-of-the art space, adjacent to the historical Titanic Quarter, allows us to grow our footprint in Belfast and bring great career opportunities to the local marketplace," she added

Previous experience is not required with the academy open to graduates from any discipline. Graduates will be paid an allowance of £150 per week plus travel expenses while training.
