   EmpowHER: Career Development Program for Women in Sustainable Finance
3:00 - 4:00PM EDT
WATCH RECORDING

 
Join the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business to learn more about the EmpowHer Program, a 2-year leadership initiative supported by Visa Foundation aimed at building equitable opportunities for women pursuing careers at the nexus of finance and sustainability.

A career in sustainable finance provides a unique opportunity to drive investment into companies that are solving pressing environmental and social challenges. ESG-related investments currently account for 1 in every $4 invested in the US, totaling more than $17 trillion invested in sustainable assets in 2020 alone. There is a huge demand for sustainability-related financial expertise to manage these assets, and not enough qualified human capital to keep up. 

Through curricular offerings, experiential learning opportunities, topical deep dive workshops, recruiting and internship support, peer and professional networking, and mentorship by leading executives, EmpowHer students will build a strong foundation for gainful career opportunities in sustainable finance.

Join us to learn more about the program and details on how to apply.
