The all-female 5-week programme instils delegates with the confidence to elevate their career to the next level; with company ‘sponsorship’ a key contributor to this.
Sponsorship benefits companies by creating more effective and committed teams and fostering a ‘pay it forward’ mentality that makes employees feel valued and supported.
The drinks reception is an opportunity for attendees to invite their line managers, senior management team or company sponsor.
An important part of the programme is the cross-company support network that is fostered among the City Stars cohort. For this reason, the number of attendees from the same company is limited to three, and the application process ensures a balanced, optimal mix of professionals from the investment and asset management sector.
