New wave of recruits join Grant Thornton’s training programmes

THIRTEEN people have joined the growing Yorkshire offices of business and financial adviser Grant Thornton to embark on the firm’s training programmes which have been specially designed for both graduates and school leavers.

This year’s intake includes two interns embarking on a 12 month training contract, a school leaver on an extended training programme and two former interns who have gone on to join as trainees.

Will Oxley, practice leader at Grant Thornton in Leeds, said: “Building a team of the most talented and committed professionals is at the core of our business and this starts with attracting and developing the brightest and most enthusiastic young people as they set out on their career and helping them to unlock their potential for growth at work.

“We offer a selection of specially adapted, structured training schemes for graduates, school leavers and interns, all of which are designed to nurture potential. Beyond qualification, career development through specialist and managerial training remains a priority, enabling us to ensure that we continue to deliver insightful solutions which add value and really make a difference to our clients.”
