Accelerate your new hires’ speed to productivity
We are proud to be a trusted learning partner for a number of leading financial institutions, including 8 of the top 10 global banks.
Since 2010, we have been helping our clients ensure that their new analysts experience a smooth transition into their new roles, arriving at the desk with all the tools they need to thrive in today’s fast-moving and complex financial markets.
Preparation for these new careers starts long before new Analysts are offered a permanent role with their first employer. Alpha can help you facilitate this transition from campus to corporate throughout the whole journey, from attraction-based ‘insight’ events to full time onboarding.
We can work with your team to design an integrated new-hire and continued development journey combining technical knowledge and desk-ready commercial and professional skills. This model is adapted and tailored to the requirements of each client.

Case Studies
Future-proofing the leadership pipeline
Aligning to wider business strategy for their corporate and investment banking divisions, this leading global bank undertook a comprehensive training needs analysis with the aim of increasing retention across junior client-facing roles and building a ‘future-proof’ leadership pipeline.
Onboarding lateral hires, and a booster for existing people
Culture means everything for this asset management firm. When redesigning their onboarding process for new hires, they spread it over two years – because that is a short time in most people’s tenor in the firm.
Large scale intern and graduate onboarding, pushing the boundaries for a global bank
With an increase in headcount, the Early Careers team were keen to explore how they could enhance their onboarding experience and ensure their programming continued to keep pace with that of their competitors on the street.
Assessments and Analytics: from analogue to digital (and back again)
Our client runs multiple analyst onboarding programs simultaneously, for many hundreds of new hires. Alpha delivers some of these programs. The client has strict data security protocols in place, meaning that assessments cannot be administered by vendor portals, but instead on paper.
What skills training do all graduates need?
Our client was a bank. Based on feedback from the business, our client was looking to elevate the communication skills training delivered as part of their global Analyst orientation program, delivered in four regions.
