Are you interested in a career in investment banking? Are you interested in learning, skill building, and networking to make that happen? Join us for an engaging 2-day programme designed to provide you with valuable insights into the dynamic field of Investment Banking.
SEB’s Diversify Finance Programme is for students who feel underrepresented or disconnected from the world of finance but have a passion for a career in the industry. It aims to provide an inclusive space for selected students to get to know SEB, learn about the industry, and receive coaching and mentorship.
About the programme
The chosen students will be immersed into SEB’s Corporate & Investment Banking. The Investment Banking group is a high energy, client focused, and international part of SEB. Highly regarded throughout northern Europe, this area provides incredible career experiences and exposure to massive clients from across the world.
You will be assigned an SEB employee mentor in advance, who you will get to know before coming to the office. Then, you and a group of students will spend the better part of two days at the SEB office in Kungsträdgården, where there will be panel discussions, interview and resume coaching, and breakfast and lunch with the team. This provides you with the opportunity to learn about potential roles and to feel more confident about interviewing. If you participate in both days, you are guaranteed one interview for the Investment Banking internship.
Who are you?
You should be a university student studying in Sweden, who has a genuine interest in business and finance but has a background or experience that is underrepresented in the industry. This could mean you lack a network in Stockholm due to socioeconomic or geographic factors, feel intimidated by the industry due to lack of exposure, or feel underrepresented or alone in the industry based on background, education, or experience.
We do not expect you to have already mastered financial models, but you should be curious, dedicated, ambitious and outspoken. You should also have sharp analytical skills and be a fast and willing learner.
What we offer
· 2-day immersive experience in investment banking
· Mentorship from an SEB employee
· Coaching on resumes, interviews, and career roles
· Networking with SEB professionals
· Guaranteed interview for an Investment Banking internship
