Spotlight on Associates and Alumni
upReach has been an
invaluable guide on
my university journey,
not only helping me
navigate my career
options but also
facilitating my landing
of a job at one of the
world’s most prestigious investment
banks in my desired role. Sa昀椀a, my
Programme Coordinator, played a pivotal
role in preparing me for interviews,
while the upReach platform provided
essential resources and support
throughout the application process. I am
incredibly proud of upReach and 昀椀rmly
believe in its mission to drive real social
change through education and career
assistance, it is truly an organisation at
the heart of social mobility!
The support I’ve received
from upReach has
signi昀椀cantly contributed
to my successful
internship application
at Inigo Insurance,
resulting in an offer
for a permanent role
at the company. From my experience
as an Associate, I’ve found the ongoing
opportunities to build my commercial
awareness from Mock Interviews
with my PC, to CV and application
reviews to be invaluable. upReach does
a great job at catering to the individuals’
needs to kick-start a career in a
corporate environment.
