As a company we have a genuine desire to remove traditional barriers to entry into the financial services sector, widening participation and addressing social mobility issues.

Working with industry participants, Universities, Colleges and Local Authorities, SITTE sets out to address diversity and inclusion, with a proven social impact.

Through our training programme we educate disadvantaged individuals to a professionally competent standard of understanding and application in capital markets with our Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Financial Trading.

The programme focuses on the knowledge, skills and behaviours as set out in the Investment Banking option of the Level 6 Financial Services Apprenticeship Standard, developed by Divento in conjunction with the likes of Barclays, HSBC, Santander, RBS, and Pimco to name but a few, as part of the Apprenticeship Standards Trailblazer process.

Additionally, our employability skills module concentrates on highly valued, industry required foundation skills, making individuals truly work ready to embark on a sustainable career within the financial services sector.

"The impact of partaking in the Divento course can only be described as game-changing! I’m not even exaggerating, my outlook on life has changed, my mindset has changed, my work ethic has changed, I myself have changed and least importantly , my CV has changed – employers are excited to discuss what I learnt as it literally stands out on the page! The tutors are truly amazing and simply pushed me to succeed, guiding the transition of theoretical knowledge to practical trading with real-time software. This was an invaluable experience that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone!"

"The Level 5 Financial Trading course at Divento has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I had absolutely no knowledge about financial trading prior to starting the course and now I have a Level 5 Diploma in Financial Trading! I loved the course from the start and have felt so motivated throughout the 5 weeks, every single day. I would like to thank the Divento team as they have supported me so much throughout the course and have taught me so many important life skills."

"Divento has not only changed my career path, but has changed my life. Before this opportunity I had no idea what road I was going down. Divento has helped me refine my knowledge and application of all I have learnt, guiding me to see an end goal and setting me on a path I wouldn't have found without them. The knowledge and experience I have gained since being here is exponential and is only amplified and made possible by the surrounding positive energy and dedication of all involved towards us."

"Divento Financials provides an amazing programme for graduates and for those interested in the financial industry. Although I found my time very challenging, I was able to persevere through and complete the programme with the support of amazing teachers and mentors. The programme allows you to witness professional traders trade, which is an opportunity that doesn't come around often. The practical application and following a traders' routine definitely helped to turn my experience around. The Divento programme is extremely valuable and anyone lucky enough to come across this opportunity should be advised to grab it with both hands."

"I've always been hard working as I believe it is the only way to get results, however I was certainly challenged through these five weeks and coming out the other side has made me an even more driven person. I now feel like I am capable of the many more opportunities this industry has to offer.  I always wanted to be in the financial industry and now that I have diversified my portfolio my prospects are higher and I have Divento to thank for this. The course is very well managed and structured and it was always clear of what I needed to do to achieve.  My confidence has grown due to the employability sessions they provide. The career advice and guidance that Divento provide is outstanding, I know I can always contact them in the future and will be guaranteed a warm welcome. Before these five weeks I felt a bit lost about my future and I can now say that I have a clear goal and know exactly what is required to achieve this. I owe a lot to Divento and hope to remain in contact in years to come."
