Weekly Shoutouts

This has been such as a busy week with application season starting, and we’re excited to get out there again to help young people kickstart their careers! We also had our kickstart event for the year this Wednesday (more below!)

  • Our standout winners from the Application Academy programme - Adrianna, Callum, Tobi and Odelia!

  • Indirapathi - for securing a Barclays Technology summer internship at Barclays during the programme

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!

Early Careers Panel

We have 2 insight days coming up with Barclays in Manchester and Glasgow! Keep an eye out for dates and applications dropping soon!
