Getting Investment Banking is an internship event designed to provide undergraduates with disabilities and long-term health conditions an insight into the true nature of the opportunities available within investment banking and the support that can be provided.

The event will be hosted on 20 October at UBS offices in London and travel expenses will be reimbursed. Nine of the world's leading investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, Barclays, JP Morgan and HSBC will be in attendance.

Who should attend?

This event is for anyone with concerns that their potential to develop an exciting and rewarding career might be compromised by the fact that they have a disability or long term health condition - visible or otherwise. Or that the kind of long hours, pressures and travel we typically associate with life at a top investment bank, may present a barrier.

The event is aimed at first and second year students who are graduating in 2017 and 2018. You may be interested in a career in investment banking and want to find out more. Alternatively, you may not think that investment banking is for you, but are prepared to keep an open mind.

If you are worried about telling a future employer about your disability and the support you may require this event will help reassure you. One of the key objectives of Getting Investment Banking is to take an honest look at the issue of disclosure. The event will explore the responsibilities of both employer and employee to ensure that any necessary reasonable adjustments are put in place.
