The group, from the Foundation’s Leadership through Sport and Business programme, visited two of the city’s most iconic buildings - the Gherkin and the Lloyds of London building - where they met representatives from global insurance companies Swiss Re and Alwen Hough Johnson.
The budding accountants, aged 16-20, were invited to the capital as part of their pre-apprenticeship training, as they prepare to enter the world of work. LFC Foundation mentors organised the visit to give the students insight into the professional work environment, and the routes into employment in the financial and business sectors.
Leadership though Sport and Business (LTSB), is a national charity that works in partnership with the LFC Foundation and other education delivery partners to help bright and ambitious young people to access careers in accounting and finance.
