CWIM Original: “Unveiling Gen Z: Are Young Women Turning Their Backs on a Career in Finance…Again?” (Hosted by CFA Society Spain)

The future of finance depends on who chooses to enter it.

Overview

As the finance industry works to build a more inclusive future, a critical question is emerging: are young women becoming increasingly disconnected from careers in finance — and if so, why?

Participate in a virtual conversation exploring how Gen Z perceives the finance industry, what influences career decisions among young women today, and where the industry may be falling short in attracting and retaining the next generation of talent. From culture and purpose-driven work to representation, flexibility, and evolving career expectations, we’ll examine the trends shaping the future pipeline of women in finance.

Whether you’re a leader focused on talent development, an educator, or an emerging professional navigating your own career path, this conversation will offer valuable perspectives on the future of women in finance.

Key Topics and Takeaways

  • What young professionals are prioritizing in their careers

  • Lessons finance can learn from STEM and tech industries

  • Strategies firms and leaders can adopt to better engage the next generation

You are encouraged to invite your colleagues to join this complimentary event. This interactive session will bring together industry leaders, educators, and emerging professionals to discuss the perception gap, share actionable insights, and explore how finance can better compete with industries like STEM and technology for top young talent.

A new generation. New expectations. Is finance evolving fast enough?
