Continuing development

Many employers believe in continuous learning and are keen to continue your development. They maintain strong links with higher and further education establishments.

For example, in the financial service sector, RBS has arranged for Harvard Business School to provide courses for its staff under the title of ‘The RBS Business School’. These programmes help to develop the vision and quality of management that the RBS Group will need in challenging markets in the future. Many other institutions also provide an opportunity for you to become a member of relevant professional bodies who may offer professional examinations, such as the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIBoS) and The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Chartered institute of Accountants of Scotland (ICAS). Edinburgh City Region also has an active business networking community that provides employees with a variety of personal development opportunities.
