Leading investment banks are launching a drive to attract disabled university students to the City.
Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG say there is a large pool of talented disabled students who are currently not applying for positions within investment banks.
They hope to raise awareness of the career options available in investment banking through a new scheme which allows disabled students to spend time with representatives from the banks.
The event, GTI initiative Capital Chances - disabled students in investment banking, is supported by Skill, the National Bureau for Students with Disabilities - and will introduce students to the City and allow them to tour banks.
Barbara Waters, chief executive of Skill, said: "The event will help well qualified disabled students gain an insight into the world of investment banking and for the banks to see the kind of talent they may well be missing out on."
