Investing in Talent Careers Insight Event 24th October 2024

Banking, finance and technology careers for students with disabilities and health conditions.

“We are committed to hiring the best people for our roles and we do not believe that any disability or long-term health conditions should be a barrier to that.”

This is the message that the city’s leading firms are sending out to students.

If you are an ambitious undergraduate with a disability and / or long-term health condition who wants to pursue exciting career opportunities in banking, finance and / or technology, Investing in Talent is not to be missed.

Meet global employers such as Bank of America, Citi, Fidelity International, J.P. Morgan and Nomura to gain a real insight into their career opportunities.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about the importance of disability to these firms, hear from employees about how they manage their disability in the workplace, gain specialist advice about requesting adjustments for the recruitment process, and have the opportunity to expand your network with disability inclusive employers.

This event is open to students with disabilities* and/or long-term health conditions. Priority will be given to students in their 1^st and penultimate years of study, who haven’t attended this event previously.

Applications close on Friday 18th October.
