Who are we?

At Bloomberg we work on purpose. The goal of our Apprenticeship Programme is to help you find yours.
Are you interested in the world of finance? Do you want to learn how data and technology keeps the global markets moving? Do you want to help bring clarity to a complex work? Do you want to be a part of our future?

Bloomberg is a company that is constantly innovating, and as part of the Apprenticeship Programme you’ll learn as much about yourself as our business. Bloomberg will support you every step of the way. You’ll get a dedicated line manager, a buddy and a mentor. You will have access to a comprehensive training programme and will be provided guidance on every step of your journey with us.

What is the Apprenticeship Programme?

The Apprenticeship Programme at Bloomberg is an exciting opportunity to take your first steps in starting a rewarding career with us. Our Apprenticeship Programme will support you in combining work and education, where you will have an opportunity to gain a formal qualification while also being an important and highly valued member of the team. This opportunity will provide you with an alternative route into a global organisation away from the classic university pathway. You'll be encouraged to learn, develop and grow, while working within a collaborative and innovative environment.

This comprehensive programme will provide you with extensive internal training, a carefully curated education plan with one of our academic qualification providers, and highly valuable hands-on experience of working within a fast-paced and challenging environment.

Introducing the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) team

In 2022, we outlined our new diversity and inclusion vision — inclusion of all, exclusion of none — and evolved our mission: to build an inclusive and equitable culture for all of us, by all of us. That vision and mission sits at the heart of our business, as we believe that having the best product, provided by the best people, will deliver the best outcome for our clients.
Our global diversity and inclusion strategy focuses on achieving business excellence by fostering a true culture of equity and inclusion through leadership accountability, allyship and advocacy. Through new and ongoing initiatives, we’re developing a leadership structure that equally values all perspectives and actively advocates for inclusion. By engaging, integrating and allying with underrepresented talent, we’re striving to open opportunity to candidates and employees from all backgrounds. And by investing in technology, systems and processes to promote diverse hiring and strengthening our leadership and talent development programs, we’re working to measurably increase the representation and advancement of underrepresented talent across the company.

Within the D&I team, Project Management specialists need a multi-discipline skillset as they play a part in delivering on our mission and vision by managing projects from inception to execution, communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, creating opportunities and networking to move projects forward and providing operational support to the wider team.
You will need to be a talented individual who wants to join our D&I team in London. You will help enable our people and business by embedding Diversity & Inclusion and will be expected to spread awareness and continue to articulate the business case for D&I. You will help refine priorities and programs and report results.
You will be required to act with discretion when handling sensitive information. Additionally, you will assist with analysing data, spotting gaps, and seizing opportunities and will work closely with our external partners. You will help research best practices and trends and look to how they could be incorporated into our existing workflow.
We will look to you to assist the D&I team to project manage across EMEA and work across HR on other initiatives and programs such as mental health awareness or Race in the Workplace.
