At BlackRock, our mission is simple: we have a responsibility to help people around the globe – from all walks of life – build a better financial future. To achieve this, our workforce must reflect the diversity of our clients so that we can bring a wealth of perspectives and insights to solve their unique, complex challenges.
But it’s not enough to focus solely on building a diverse workforce. We take it one step further and ensure that each and every employee feels included, respected and valued.
At our Investing in you: Widening Participation event, hosted in partnership with BlackRock’s Social Mobility & Allies Network, you’ll gain insight into our mission, purpose and principles; our focus on innovation and challenging the status quo; our business areas and opportunities to join the firm.
You’ll hear from BlackRock employees from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds at various stages in their careers as they provide an inside look at what it means to be part of the world’s largest asset manager.
