Barclays is piloting a new program in New York called Encore! to
help professionals who have taken a career break re-enter the
finance industry.
“Encore! helps us to look outside of non-conventional sources
for talent,” says Joe Gold, Deputy CEO, Barclays Corporate &
International. “This is a win-win opportunity for both Barclays and
the candidate.”
Potential candidates should complete the application form on the
Encore! website. Applicants will undergo an initial qualification
screening by the Barclays Resourcing team, followed by interviews
at 745 Seventh Avenue in July.
The ten week paid internship program for accepted candidates
will begin on September 12, 2016, with an orientation and training
program at the onset. Candidates will then be placed within one of
the designated areas in Barclays’ Investment Bank which best suits
their background, including Banking, Markets, Research, Finance,
Operations and Technology.
“When professionals take time off mid-career to focus on
personal responsibilities, the gaps in their resume often become a
stumbling block when trying to re-enter the workforce,” adds
Barbara Byrne, Vice Chairman in Banking. “We’re confident this
program will help to bridge that gap for these applicants and, at
the same time, source a new pool of diverse talent for the
firm.”
Candidates for the program should meet the following
criteria:
- Minimum one-year career break for
personal responsibilities
- Minimum of five years of continuous
work experience, achieving a title equivalent of VP or above in
their most recent role
- Financial services experience
preferred, but not required
The application deadline is June 24, 2016.
