New York \u2013 UBS, Bloomberg, and State Street Global Advisors today launched \u201cGirls Take Wall Street,\u201d an initiative that brings together over 100 high school girls from KIPP NYC and Student Leadership Network\u2019s Young Women\u2019s Leadership Schools, to inspire the next generation of female leaders to consider careers in financial services. The day-long program is part of an effort by UBS, Bloomberg and State Street Global Advisors to join forces in their commitment to supporting and advancing women and girls in business and finance.<\/p>\n

On Friday, March 1, the girls will start the day visiting the Bloomberg and UBS offices in New York, with activities including career panels and speed networking sessions, to learn about the variety of exciting roles that exist in the finance industry and what it takes to succeed. Mentors from the three firms will connect with the girls to share their career trajectories and answer questions about opportunities available in their fields. \u00a0At the end of the day, and to commemorate the start of Women\u2019s History Month, the girls will visit the NYSE, ring The Closing Bell\u00ae and take a photo with the State Street Global Advisors\u2019 Fearless Girl statue. They will then be treated to an exclusive musical performance organized by iHeartRadio.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Bloomberg, we\u2019ve always been committed to ensuring equal opportunities for women,\u201d said Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies. \u201cWe invest in women\u2019s professional development in our offices around the world, and we highlight the progress other companies are making through the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. We also connect students with opportunities to learn from successful women in the finance industry. We\u2019re glad to be a part of \u2018Girls Take Wall Street,\u2019 and I\u2019m looking forward to meeting with the group today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the financial services industry is more diverse than ever before, there\u2019s quite a bit of progress still to be made in transforming it to more accurately reflect today\u2019s society,\u201d said Tom Naratil, President UBS Americas and Co-President UBS Global Wealth Management. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to play a part in educating and inspiring these young women as they consider pursuing careers in finance. Together with our partners, we\u2019re excited by this unique opportunity to connect with the next generation of female leaders and help close our industry\u2019s outdated gender gap.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to work on empowering high school girls to be the next generation of leaders in finance is one that rings true for State Street Global Advisors,\u201d said Lori Heinel, Deputy Global Chief Investment Officer for State Street Global Advisors. \u201cAs part of the day, we\u2019re thrilled the students will have the opportunity to visit Fearless Girl at her new home at the NYSE, and get inspired about becoming fearless leaders themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

All three firms have worked to address opportunities for young women in finance in a number of ways. Bloomberg Startup, the company\u2019s global education engagement program, supports young women by providing access to mentors, internships, and workshops that expose students to diverse and influential women around the world. With more than 3,500 employee mentors in 41 cities, Startup works with programs such as Girls Who Invest and Girls Go Tech that provide young women with opportunities to explore diverse career options.<\/p>\n

State Street Global Advisors commissioned Fearless Girl, now located in front of the New York Stock Exchange, to raise awareness of their push to increase gender diversity on corporate boards. The statue celebrates the spirit of women who are taking charge today, and serves as inspiration for the next generation of female leaders. Fearless Girl ignited a global conversation about the power of women in leadership and inspired more than 300 companies around the world to add women to their boards.<\/p>\n

UBS\u2019s focus on education is helping unlock the economic and social mobility that comes with the attainment of a bachelor\u2019s degree. Through employee volunteering and philanthropy, including the UBS NextGen Leaders initiative, the company has invested over $10 million to increase college and career success for lower-income students who are first in their families to go to college.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
