Every year Pure Potential is inundated
with requests from ambitious students asking how they can explore careers in
finance. There are too few opportunities in the City which enable only a
handful of lucky sixth formers to get their foot in the door, and many of these
opportunities tend to be hugely over-subscribed or insufficiently publicised.
To make sure as many deserving
state-educated sixth formers get a chance to kick-start their financial careers, Pure
Potential is launching a brand new, completely free event where we will
introduce leading financial firms from a range of sectors to ambitious sixth
formers through workshops, presentations and a careers fair.
The event takes place in London during
the Autumn Half Term on Thursday October 31st. We have just 250 places at PP:
Finance 2013 and will be allocating places to those students that fit the
following criteria:
·
Achieved / predicted ABB at AS-Level or equivalent (not including General
Studies or Critical Thinking)
·
Attend a state school or college (non-fee paying)
·
In Year 12 or Year 13
We will prioritise students from
lower-socio-economic backgrounds, and those with no parental history of higher
education, but please still apply if you do not meet these criteria.
To apply, please complete our short
online application form.
Applications will close at 5pm on
Monday, 30th September 2013. We will inform all applicants of our decision by
Wednesday, 2nd October.
We look forward to receiving your
application.
