As part of our Black History Month celebrations, we're delighted to be partnering with our Africa-focused employee network, Umoja, for an insight afternoon at our head office in London.
During the session, you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about BII: Discover our mission, values and impact investing across Africa and Asia.
- Build your skills: Take part in an interactive activity and gain insight into the skills needed to succeed in international development.
- Hear from our people: Meet current Graduate Analysts and colleagues and learn about their experiences at BII.

This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into a career in international development, build your professional network, and learn how you can contribute to creating lasting impact across the African continent and beyond.
