Aspire
Do you Aspire to be a senior business leader of the future, maybe even at one of the biggest organisations in the world? Our new event, Aspire, is here to start you on this path.
Not enough boardrooms currently reflect the society that we live in. Statistics published by the Parker Review Committee (which reports on the ethnic diversity of UK boards) show that, as of November 2020, just 124 of 998 director positions at FTSE100 companies were held by people from ethnic minorities. That’s only 12%
This needs to change. That’s why targetjobs has partnered with leading employers in the UK to host Aspire, an event to help more Black Heritage students take several steps closer to their dream careers.
Register for the next event to begin your journey to the top of the career ladder. Over the course of the day, you’ll have unrivalled facetime with employers in fields such as law and finance. Be inspired by talks from senior leaders and graduates of Black Heritage, who are ready to share their stories and tips with you. Develop the skills you’ll need to secure your first job through a series of recruiter-led workshops. And leave Aspire with the knowledge and connections to help you on your path to the boardroom.
