Jack Sangster

As a candidate for the position of Finance: Head of Careers, my vision is to enhance the career prospects of our Finance Society members by establishing dynamic connections with the broader finance industry. By leveraging these relationships, I aim to provide not only direct paths to employment but also opportunities for professional growth and skill development that benefit members throughout their careers.

Objectives:

Expand Industry Connections: I plan to widen our network within the finance sector, reaching out to a diverse range of companies and organisations that align with our members' career aspirations. By doing so, we can open more doors for internships, graduate positions, and experienced hires.

Boost Career Opportunities: Through targeted initiatives and collaborations, I aim to increase the number and variety of job opportunities available to our members. This includes organising exclusive recruitment events, job fairs, and direct referral programs with our corporate partners.

Professional Development Programs: In collaboration with industry experts, I will organise workshops, seminars, and webinars designed to equip our members with the skills and knowledge demanded by the finance industry. Topics will cover emerging trends, essential skills, and career planning strategies.

Mentorship and Networking: I intend to establish a mentorship program that connects members with alumni and professionals in their fields of interest. Additionally, regular networking events will facilitate valuable connections that can lead to career opportunities and professional guidance.
