Internships

Internships are a great way for young talent — that may otherwise have not considered a career in private equity — to experience the sector. Industry insight programmes attract a breadth of talent from a wide range of backgrounds.

After a successful launch in 2021, Level 20 UK has once again partnered with Girls Are Investors UK (GAIN) on the Empower Investment Internship Programme, matching female students with private equity firms for summer internships.

Level 20 outreach committees run webinars and in-person events in partnership with multiple business schools and universities discussing routes into private equity and how to break into the industry. These initiatives build awareness amongst young female students and provide real life experience and advice from current private equity professionals.

Young professionals

Working with business schools and universities, Level 20 runs outreach events across Europe, speaking to students and young women at the start of their careers. Private equity professionals and Level 20 members take part in events sharing their experiences and insight; providing a bridge for many who would not otherwise have considered a career in the industry.

Reaching out

From Level 20 France’s Private Equity Discovery webinar series, to our Dutch and Netherlands PE insight academies, our members and private equity professionals take part in events across Europe sharing their experience and insight, providing a bridge for many who would not otherwise have considered a career in the industry.

Interview skills

The multi-stage interview and application process for entry into private equity can be a barrier. Working in collaboration with search firm partners and sponsor firms, Level 20 runs interview skills workshops and CV preparation sessions to demystify the process. Topics covered include LBO modelling, approaching case studies and interview tips.

Networking

For women who are interested in making a move into private equity, Level 20 offers opportunities to network with private equity professionals. We partner with specialist search firms to host events which give firms an opportunity to connect with young women interested in private equity.
