My experience with the programme was phenomenal. The induction week was a tour-de-force, providing a comprehensive overview of the company and its culture. My mentor offered sound and valuable guidance, helping me navigate the corporate landscape, while my assigned workspace buddy provided an outlet for all the little, yet important questions, accelerating my integration. But the most impactful experience was the day-to-day work. In this regard, I felt well-placed, as my role leveraged my skills while also providing ample growth opportunities.
Through the MVA programme, my transition felt well-paced and fully supported. While not entirely stress-free, it was much less stressful than I expected. The structured and comprehensive training offered by the programme provided me with the foundational knowledge I required and enabled me to quickly make meaningful contributions to my team.
I feel fortunate to have benefited from the MVA Programme. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a career change and wanting to join an organization with an excellent culture and an abundance of opportunities.
Initially, I was disappointed to find out that JPMorganChase didn't need an experienced health service manager. Who would have thought it! However, I quickly discovered that there is plenty of space in the organization for individuals who are team-oriented, results-driven, strong communicators and comfortable with change.

This programme is incredible at providing a soft landing to service leavers. I joined the Army a decade ago intending to do a full military career, once the pressures of military life no longer fit with my personal life, I decided to leave but had little idea of what I wanted to do—I went for the JP Morgan scheme because it provided a safe space from which to grow. The programme allowed me to understand the financial services industry, learn about the way different areas of JP Morgan fit in with one another and decide where I could add value to the organisation.
On the one hand, I found the workload manageable as it allows me a work-life balance, alongside being able to rekindle relationships with old friends and family that have lain dormant. However, I definitely experienced identity loss. I always thought I was quite civilianised but didn’t realise how much I depended on the relationships within the Army to get me through stressful periods, nor how much of an effect spending your twenties in an organisation can have on you. I am grateful programme gave me stability for 6-months allowing me to find a role that I was able to thrive in.
The MVA team hosts sessions for those in the programme to spell out what skills are best to communicate whilst networking and during interviews. Military leavers that have gone before have made a huge impact on the organisation’s opinion of veterans— as a result there are very few areas which do not know what skills and value we bring. I personally found that there are areas that a veteran can easily add value whilst learning the specifics of the world of finance.

The programme has given me the most incredible opportunity to pivot into the financial world. I have enjoyed the challenge of starting in a new industry, one which is fast paced with brilliant colleagues surrounding me.
Starting all over again after being one of the best rowers in the world is always daunting, but being humble enough to learn from others around me, to accept that this will be a journey and to fail fast are all important lessons that drove me in this new role. Sometimes it is learning the small things, like not eating the same huge diet I had as a rower, or getting used to not being in a rowing boat three times per day. But in other respects it is coming to terms with the fact that your identity has shifted.
Knowing that there are experts from the programme who are there for me to turn to, mentors for advice and encouragement from my immediate colleagues have all helped with the transition. I have learnt after a period of time here that the bank is a lot like an elite sports team! We work to goals, to deadlines, collaboratively and under pressure. The real fun comes in delivering and doing that as a team.
The programme is unique across the corporate world. JPMorganChase is incredibly forward thinking in creating this programme for elite athletes. We bring diversity of thought, of experience and life to the bank. I think this is so important for our culture and our performance.
