“Together we are breaking down barriers and creating a more inclusive and dynamic industry.”

Simona Provenzano,
Talent, Development & Inclusion, Phoenix Group

Financial Services firms are missing out on bright, fresh, high-potential talent and struggling to connect with the communities they serve. Relying on the same old pool of talent escalates your costs and limits your chances of engaging diverse talent.

We give young people an insight into what a career in Financial Services could look like for them. By joining our programme, students can see the breadth of skills, roles, cultures and organisations that make up the FS eco-system, unlocking new career pathways and possibilities.

"Improving social mobility within Financial Services is something that no single firm can do on their own, so collaboration across firms is key to driving meaningful impact. It was also a lighter-touch way for us to run a work experience and easy for volunteers to engage."
