Hide-This work based learning programme is different to traditional higher education models. The aim is to develop highly specialised working knowledge, which is contextualised and specific to an industry sector. This is all about learning in context, learning integrated with your work demands and organisational objectives. This requires a critical reflection of global best practice in context, peer/participant inputs and external expert speakers.
This programme brings together theory and practice and draws on the employees own background and experience, using live project briefs, expert lecturers from industry, ongoing engagement with partner enterprises and applied learning across all subject areas.
Professional Recognition
This programme was developed by FinTech Learning Labs (FTLL), a talent development initiative involving three key players in IFS, Pramerica, Optum (UnitedHealth Group), Allstate and LYIT.
