Barclays Wealth EmployAbility Summer Internship for Students with Disabilities 2008
The Barclays Wealth EmployAbility Internship gives students with disabilities the opportunity to obtain invaluable work experience and gain an insight into the industry.
EmployAbility is the not-for-profit organisation that facilitates and manages the selection and recruitment for disability inclusive employers seeking to attract and recruit disabled people onto internships, graduate programmes and other permanent roles.
Overview
Barclays Wealth is the wealth management division of Barclays Bank Plc and is one of the leading wealth managers in the UK. It serves affluent and high net-worth personal and corporate clients with a complete end-to-end wealth management service on a global basis. This includes private banking, brokerage, financial planning and advisory services.
Wealth is increasing globally and creating more affluent individuals and families than ever before. Yet the wealth management industry is still emerging and many countries have fragmented markets with few leaders. That means few clients are receiving the standards of financial guidance they expect and deserve. As one of the first financial organisations to bring all the major wealth management services under one umbrella, we're in a strong position to become a dominant player in the field.
Summer Internship Programme
Barclays Wealth run a ten week summer internship which is an excellent way for you to gain an all-around experience of the private banking business, its culture and its values. Interns are assigned to one business area for the duration of the internship and are expected to contribute to real work from the start.
You will receive training throughout the programme including an intensive induction week. In addition, there are social and networking events plus opportunities to meet with senior management. The internship may lead you to an offer of permanent employment on successful completion of your degree.
