Education – enabling talent
The changing needs of business, intensified international competition, constrained public sector funding and the increasing demands of the UK education sector mean that in order to deliver a world class education service, both business and education must work in partnership.Neither employers nor schools, colleges nor universities can meet these new challenges alone but together we can ensure that the next generation has every chance to succeed and is well prepared for the world of work.
It is for this reason that Deutsche Bank, one of the largest employers in the City of London, invests significantly in supporting students with the fewest opportunities and from the most deprived areas of the Capital to reach their potential. We do not believe that life chances should be determined by background and we invest both people and money to ensure that this is not the case.
In the UK, we work with a number of different partner organisations and provide employee volunteers to support young people by helping them consider their future and offer them every opportunity to succeed.
