Equalise opportunities
Financial careers should be open to ambitious students from every background - not just the well-connected few.
Choosing a career is
difficult.
The financial industry has a high barrier of entry, and students don't always know where to start. Career26 exists to change that.
Our mission
Three commitments that shape every product, course and event we build.
Improve education
Raise awareness of what's actually needed to land a role in the financial industry - beyond what universities teach.
Build real skills
Equip students with the desk-ready skills, network and confidence top employers expect on day one.
Our story
Founded by Oxford and Kent graduates who scaled a non-profit supporting hundreds of students into UK jobs - Career26 is the next chapter of that mission.
Self-funded and driven by a commitment to educational quality, we combine experience building scalable global solutions, coaching underprivileged students, and growing communities - with a clear vision to make career education more accessible, transparent, and effective for all.
The Career26 network
A growing cross-university community linking top students, partner societies and industry professionals.
What next?
Career26 is an ambitious community focused on excellence in financial careers. We partner with elite firms to deliver rigorous courses and high-impact in-person events.
