Acing Application Season
On Wednesday, we culminated our application academy program by bringing 150 students into Barclays Canary Wharf for an insight evening focused on how to best navigate the upcoming application cycle.
Students and graduates were benefitted Q&A panels from current professionals and early career teams to gain valuable first-hand insight into what employers are looking for and how to best stand out in the process.
This year’s Application Academy has been great, and we’re so proud of every young person who engaged and took part across the programme. See you all again next year!
