6th May Roundtable: The impact of AI on early careers roles in Financial Services

There was a 24% global decrease of junior roles in Financial Services last year and at the same time the UK saw an 11-year high of the number of 16-24 year old NEETs – with 1 in 8 young people not in education, employment or training.

Firms and young people alike are struggling to navigate this fast-moving landscape; and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are at risk of being left behind.

We're bringing the sector together to discuss the impact that AI is having on early careers roles in Financial Services. And - importantly - where firms can step in to make sure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds aren't disproportionately left behind.

Join this facilitated discussion to explore, share and problem solve:

• The impact of AI on your apprenticeship roles: volume and scope.
• Evolving challenges for young people leaving school today.
• Practical actions employers can take to support school leavers to navigate this changing landscape – and in particular supporting those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
