Graduate training schemes are required in the independent financial advice sector (Ifas), an expert has claimed. Jonathan Purle, director at London-based independent financial advisers Intethic, said the industry should adopt a similar practice to other professional services sectors by offering graduate training and apprenticeships. "Nobody decides at 29 that they're going to become a chartered accountant and try to gain entry on the basis of a few book-keeping qualifications," he told the Financial Times. He added that new entrants into the sector could be supported with back office jobs as they train to become fully-qualified professionals. Meanwhile, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) recently reported that a career in accountancy is becoming an increasingly popular choice for today's graduates. Sonja Stockton, head of student recruitment at PwC, said: "With 50 per cent more applicants than at this time last year and the fantastic response to our employability events on-campus, we could be seeing a renaissance for the profession."
