The Discovery Diversity Program is an amazing opportunity for students from underrepresented groups, who are 2 years out from graduation, to be assessed for, and to apply to join, our Summer Internships in 2025 before anyone else. This program seeks to attract and develop high-achieving individuals from all backgrounds including, but not limited to those who self-identify as: female, LGBTQ+, military veteran, disabled, first-generation college student, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and/or Native American students. However, all sophomores, regardless of background, who are interested in exploring opportunities at Barclays are encouraged to apply.

It’s the chance to learn about a career at Barclays, the chance to find out a lot about the business world and to discover a bit about yourself. And, as you’ll gain a good understanding of the full selection of roles and opportunities we offer, it’s a perfect stepping stone to one of our 10-week internships.
