Investing in the People of Goldman Sachs

“Because of the skillset approach, I had the ability to learn and apply to career opportunities across the firm that I did not know existed. This approach broadened my horizon, and introduced me to jobs that also aligned to my interests.

- Kathryn Goodgame, Associate, Platform Solutions, New York

Seeking Talent from
Different Backgrounds and Experiences

'Joining the firm as a 19-year-old was a unique experience. The Engineering Degree Apprenticeship program offered me a wealth of learning opportunities, along with hands-on work experience, which allowed me to actively contribute to my team while continuing my university education. During my time as an apprentice, so many colleagues across multiple business areas exemplified the firm’s culture of continuous learning, development and mentoring.'

- Alice Preece, Analyst, Asset & Wealth Management, London

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the Heart of Our People Strategy

“I’m a father, a caregiver to a son with special needs. When we first got his diagnosis, it was a really difficult time in our lives. By self-identifying and becoming a part of the Disability Network, you immediately become aware of all the services and benefits that are provided here, including family leave. You also have the opportunity to influence and enhance those programs.”

- Adrian Jones, Partner, Asset & Wealth Management, New York
