JPM announces Investment Banking apprenticeship

Just read this in the FT - wow. https://www.ft.com/content/a8ded30b-05a5-491a-a2fe-affd1912f9e5

For those without a subscription, basically it's a 4-year apprenticeship for high school leavers, where you will work at JPM whilst getting a degree in BS Finance from Exeter University. Unlike previous programmes this will be for legit front-office programmes (IBD).

What does everyone think? Will other banks follow? Seems like a bit of a game changer, and a great opportunity for any of the younger users on this forum.
