The #10000BlackInterns programme was co-founded by Dawid
Konotey-Ahulu (a co-founder of Redington Limited and Mallowstreet),
Jonathan Sorrell (President of Capstone Investment Advisors), Michael
Barrington-Hibbert (founder of Barrington-Hibbert Associates) and Wol
Kolade (Managing Partner of Livingbridge), the group which founded #100BlackInterns in August 2020.
Through the #100BlackInterns initiative, leading players in
the investment management industry have come together to address the
chronic underrepresentation of Black talent in that sector. Since its
launch, the programme has garnered extraordinary support with 200
investment management companies offering internships in the Summer of
2021 to Black students in the United Kingdom as a way of attracting a
more diverse range of talent to their industry.
Following the launch of #100BlackInterns, the
#10000BlackInterns initiative has been designed to help transform the
horizons and prospects of young Black people in the United Kingdom.
The 10,000 Black Interns programme will offer paid work experience
across a wide range of sectors, providing training and development
opportunities and creating a sustainable cycle of mentorship and
sponsorship for the Black community.
