Our Student Engagement Strategy team has expanded and now covers the four corners of the UK!

We are delighted to welcome five new members of the Student Engagement Strategy team.

Launched in September last year, the Student Engagement Strategy is part of WIBF’s efforts to increase the current participation rate of undergraduate women within the finance industry. The SES helps ensure young women are given the support, guidance, resources, and opportunities they need to enter the finance sector.

WIBF also offers a discounted membership rate of £10 per year for students, where they can access a range of exciting events and resources, expand their network, gain a fantastic head start in their career, and have the opportunity to support WIBF as a volunteer.  Student members will gain access to our online events, events archive, online networking communities, and the opportunity to volunteer at WIBF. You can sign up here.

Our new volunteers will be representing our regions across the UK.
