REACH: Diversity in banking and finance

This event is aimed at encouraging applications from female candidates and those from under-represented ethnic backgrounds, as both of these groups have typically had far fewer opportunities in the banking sector. The event will take place from 11am until 3pm on 27th June at our campus at Peninsular House, 36 Monument Street, London, EC3R 8LJ. An indicative timetable is below:

What our students say

"I took a year out from working to go travelling, but now it’s time to get back into the working world. I actually graduated in Biochemistry but now I’m considering a career in banking and finance. I initially enrolled in the Diploma in Financial Advice at The London Institute of Banking & Finance, but I’m debating whether that is the correct step. So, I came to REACH to see what other pathways are available to me."

- Thurkka, REACH: Mature learners

"My favourite part was the industry panel - all of the speakers were so inspiring! Hearing from them made me feel confident about my choice to study banking because we actually found out what it's like to work and grow in the sector."

- Ayesha, REACH: Supporting ethnic diversity 

"I always thought of bankers, especially senior ones, as older men! But, seeing so many women that are enjoying successful careers in the industry makes me more determined to study towards my own future in financial services."
