Will I have any luck finding smaller firms running Degree Apprenticeships in IB/S&T?

Hi everyone,

Wondering if it will be fruitful to try reach out to small/boutique firms to see if they offer any degree apprenticeships in IB/S&T like the bigger banks have (JPM, Goldman, UBS etc.). Is it becoming more common to see degree apprentices in IB/S&T at smaller firms or will this plan to reach out to said smaller firms largely prove to be a waste of time?

Regards

Do the government still not do the 95/5 split of the cost? Last I remember this was the case, helped to get them going - and there's been some introduction of L3/4 among the L6/7 (Degree) apprenticeships at the big banks, so was just wondering if that'd trickle down yet.

Thanks for letting me know about the state of grad schemes within smaller firms - context is much appreciated.
