Monday, September 16, 2024, New York, NY– Seaport Global hosted its annual Summer Workshop. This year, the program was extended to 2 weeks. We strive to continue our commitment to mentorship and opening pathways to careers in Finance.
The workshop is intended to provide a select group of students with exposure to the expertise and experience of 60 Seaport Professionals including 2 Seaport Alums; John DeCoursey and Sello Lekalakala. Eric Standiford and Nyagaka Ongeri of our Strategic Partnership with Blaylock Van shared the importance of entrepreneurship and overcoming obstacles.
85 students from diverse geographic locations and backgrounds registered for the event. 12 Students participated through our External Mentorship Initiatives with New Heights Basketball, City Squash and College Achieve Public Schools (CAPS).
The Workshop featured a series of virtual presentations and discussions where Seaport Global professionals spoke on their areas of expertise. Topics included discussions on all asset classes (HY, FI, IG Bank Debt, Options), Structured Finance, Emerging Markets, Capital Markets, Compliance, Legal, Accounting and a Resume Workshop. Additionally, our Partners conducted a virtual roundtable discussion where each participant had the opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insights.
Prior to the commencement of the workshop, we encouraged each student to stay up to date on the markets and news in order to expand their knowledge and understanding of the financial world and become regular readers of resources such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, The Economist and the Financial Times. Additionally, we recommended that they explore selected books and films from our reading list.
