I found out about the InvestIN investment banking course through my school as I had a keen interest from a young age in the investment world. The course enabled me to gain an insight into the industry and helped point me in the right direction of the type of university course I’d choose. I chose to do Business and Economics and throughout my course I took on the advice of one of the industry executives from InvestIN and approached professionals via LinkedIn to help me look for...

I always knew I wanted to go into finance, but was never sure what area I wanted to go into or even the best way to go about getting into one of the major banks. The InvestIN course helped me greatly. Hearing from professionals in both areas, and after doing a real life ‘on the job’ simulation, I had a much broader understanding of which path I wanted to take, and the top tips for how to stand out in interviews. We also went over the different ways of getting into a bank, including summer internships, spring weeks...

While researching potential career options in Sixth Form, I was unsure of which careers would suit me. I had many ideas in my head around potential pathways including Business, Politics or Law, but I was unable to decide which would be most enjoyable and relevant to my interests. Having seen the InvestIN programs advertised, I thought that taking part in one of these experiences would be an optimal way of getting a taste of some of these industries. As a result, In 2020 I took part in one of InvestIN’s...

Not only did the team offer advice on the next steps I could take during my time in 6th form but they also further explained what careers in the differing segments of Investment Banking look like and which segment I may be best suited for through guided simulations and presentations. Following their advice I attended the Morgan Stanley Step In, Step Up...

I was told about InvestIN through my sixth form, and was really intrigued by The Young Architect Programme, as I have always had an interest in construction and design, and knew this was the direction I wanted my career to take. I took part in November 2019 when I had just started Year 13. The experience, although only lasting a day, was really insightful. Despite attending alone I got stuck in with the group tasks, in which we had to design a house based on the brief given, as well as developing my skills on...

I took part in the InvestIN Young Political Leader Programme in 2019 and the experience has proved to be invaluable. Nearly three years on from the experience and I still look back on it with fondness. After achieving an A* in A-level Politics, my interest in international affairs led me to take a gap year and explore other countries and cultures - namely Spain, Poland, Morocco, and Canada. Returning home, I began my undergraduate studies at University College London and I am now nearing the end of my first year...

I undertook the InvestIn programme during my GCSEs, since this time the program has helped shape my path so far.

As part of my application to these courses of study I included my experience with InvestIn, referencing the activities undertaken and utilizing the careers advice provided in the sessions. The programme provided an explanation of the spring insight weeks...
