Barclays today announces that registration for its New York
Encore! program is officially open for applicants who want to
participate in the 10-week program focused on workforce re-entry.
Now in its second year, Barclays is building on the success of its
inaugural New York class to this year include its London office,
giving greater opportunities to more participants in the two
largest financial capitals in the world.
Encore! provides returners with the opportunity to refresh their
professional skills through leadership and development training,
mentorship, networking opportunities, and a paid working role for
the program’s duration.
“Finding tangible solutions for workforce re-entry is
mission-critical,” says Barbara Byrne, Vice Chairman in Banking.
“Encore! expands Barclays' talent pool with returners who bring
unique life experiences and perspectives to managing and navigating
the workplace. After the successful pilot in New York, we are
excited to broaden the program through a transatlantic approach.
Scaling Encore! not only expands the pipeline of candidates but
also helps to increase diversity at the firm.”
Potential candidates in New York can now complete the
application form on the Encore! Website. The application form will
be open for London applicants on September 18. Applicants will
undergo an initial qualification screening by the Barclays
Resourcing team, followed by interviews in October and November.
The ten-week paid program for successful candidates in both New
York and London will begin in January 2018.
“Many people have different skill sets, experiences, and diverse
perspectives,” adds former Encore! Fellow Clare Pickering, now a
Vice President in Municipals Strategy and Research at Barclays.
“Even if you weren’t in financial services but you managed people
or were in operations, for example, you can easily build on that
experience in Encore!”
Candidates for the program should meet the following
criteria:
- Must have achieved the equivalent of a
VP level or above when previously in the workforce.
- Must have taken at least a one-year
career break.
- Must be able to commit to working
full-time in the Barclays’ New York office for the full 10 weeks
and have an interest in a full-time position with Barclays after
the program ends.
