Barclays Rise Programme
The Barclays RISE Programme (Revealing the Industry to Secondary Education) was launched this week to CTK students by Zainab Kwaw-Swanzy, Yaa Ofori-Ansah, Adetola Oshin and a number of their Barclays colleagues.
The programme has been running for a number of years and was originally created by former CTK student, Michael Lee, and his colleagues within the Barclays Graduate Scheme. They wanted to provide a platform where they could share their experiences whilst mentoring students who may have limited opportunities and insight into working in professional industries.
Each student on the programme is assigned a mentor and works with them through a four session programme. The weekly sessions are split into two parts with the first part being an interactive presentation on the development topic of the week. The second part is an opportunity for each mentee to have the chance to speak to and work with their mentor individually.
Following the successful completion of the mentoring programme there is also the opportunity for students to gain work experience with Barclays.
