• Career Choice Day- Citi plays host to groups of students for a day to demonstrate the range of careers available at Citi.

University of NSW Aspire

Aspire is an outreach program that supports children from low socio economic school communities in NSW. Students involved in Aspire are identified by their school as having the potential to access higher education but have barriers to participation- this is most commonly low socio economic background but may also be the first in a family to consider university education.
