Aberdeen: does its traineeship sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyAberdeen Traineeship

Unconfirmed. Aberdeen publishes no sponsorship policy for its traineeship, so we cannot state a firm answer. The traineeship is the third of Aberdeen's early careers routes and the only one that does not want a degree. It is aimed at people between 16 and 21 who have recently left school or college, and the firm is explicit that there are no minimum qualifications or experience required, asking instead for enthusiasm and an ability to learn. That is a genuinely low published bar for an asset manager and is worth more to a school leaver than most employer apprenticeship pages, which usually set GCSE grades. The same right to work condition applies as to the internship and graduate programme. No pay band, no intake size and no start date is given.

The catch: The age band is hard: 16 to 21 and recently left school or college. Someone older with the same qualifications is pushed to the graduate route instead.
