Evelyn Partners, the wealth management and professional services group, has announced that it has agreed a three-year corporate partnership with social mobility charity Career Ready.

The Career Ready programme empowers young people from under-represented backgrounds by providing them with a programme of mentoring and a paid internship, skills masterclasses, and workplace visits. 

Evelyn Partners’ first year of support will centre around its Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Manchester offices where Career Ready has existing relationships. The group hopes to expand across more locations in the future years of the relationship.

As part of the partnership, workplace visits will take place across Evelyn Partners’ Birmingham, Glasgow and London offices, where staff will deliver financial literacy masterclasses to those signed up to Career Ready’s programme. Evelyn Partners employees will also act as mentors for those taking the first steps in their career, as well as host them for a paid, four-week internship.

Commenting on this, Evelyn Partner group general counsel and group executive lead on charities & community, Charley Davies, said: “I am delighted that we have now signed and committed to three years of supporting this wonderful charity. This aligns perfectly with our Charities & Community objective of helping to improve diversity in Financial and Professional Services.

“The combination of workplace visits and a structured mentoring programme managed by Evelyn Partners and Career Ready will help support young people taking their first steps to what we hope will be a long and successful career.”
