With a focus on improving social mobility, eight years ago we started a recruitment programme to give bright, determined, but disadvantaged state-school educated students from London the opportunity to work at a global investment management firm whilst continuing their higher education.
The programme offers trainees a fully funded two-year HND in Accounting and Finance, with successful HND graduates offered the chance to continue and convert their qualification into an honours degree. Eight years later, we have seen 24 young people from diverse backgrounds join the programme.
