About this Virtual Internship Experience
Immerse yourself in the Financial Services Virtual Internship with Barclays. Through on-demand webinars and a hands-on accessibility project, you’ll learn about Barclays’ inclusive ethos, identify personal skills, and develop self-confidence, goal setting, and resilience. You’ll research innovations like audio-enabled ATMs and sign language interpretation, then propose new ideas for making banking accessible to everyone.
This experience enhances your abilities in research, creative thinking, project planning, and inclusive design. You’ll focus on user-centred concepts, considering future banking trends and the need for robust security measures. Working in stages—research, idea generation, action planning—you’ll also practise effective time management. Presenting your idea and research findings builds valuable communication skills.
Barclays’ commitment to inclusive design highlights the importance of meeting diverse needs in an evolving industry. By the programme’s end, you’ll have a comprehensive proposal that demonstrates your understanding of innovative, accessible banking for all. Help actively shape the future of financial accessibility.
