PP: Finance – kick-starting careers for state school students Pure Potential is working in partnership with leading firms and organisations from the financial industry to host an event for students interested in kickstarting their careers in finance.

National Citizen Service (NCS) is a way for 15 to 17 year olds to make extraordinary friendships, learn the skills they don’t teach you in class and create unforgettable memories.

PP: Finance is a completely free event, where we will introduce leading financial firms from a range of sectors to ambitious sixth formers, through workshops, presentations and a careers fair.

NCS takes place outside of term time in spring, summer and autumn—each is a little different. There are plenty of dates to choose from so there’s nothing standing between you and NCS.

The event takes place at Cass Business School, London during the Easter break on Wednesday, 8th April. We have just 250 places at PP: Finance 2015 and will be allocating places to those students that fit the following criteria:  Achieved / predicted ABB at AS-Level or equivalent (excluding General Studies or Critical Thinking)  Attend a state school or college (non-fee paying)  In Year 12 or Year 13

There are four different phases to NCS: Phase 1—Adventure Phase 2—Future Phase 3—Making a Difference Phase 4—Graduation

We will prioritise students from lower-socio-economic backgrounds, and those
