The Benefits of a Degree Apprenticeship in Investment Banking: Goldman Sachs launches Masters Degree Apprenticeship with Warwick University. Hear from Ayaz Haji, MD at GS, Stuart Croft, Warwick Vice Chancellor & Peter Estlin, Assc. of Apprentices

A new initiative between Goldman Sachs and Warwick University promotes equal access to opportunity and social mobility through a new Masters Degree Apprenticeship.

Ayaz Haji, Global Head of Data Products for Core Engineering at Goldman Sachs, is active in championing D&I programmes for GS. In his role, he noticed a skills gap in under-represented students, leading him to initiate the idea of a GS sponsored degree apprenticeship with University of Warwick. Ayaz, Managing Director at GS, thinks that the "Master’s apprenticeship is the best of both worlds combining computer science and data with on-the-job learning, essentially creating a leadership acceleration programme".

Ayaz is joined by Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor and President at Warwick University, who have worked together to create a tech focussed degree apprenticeship to promote social mobility. Sir Peter Estlin, Chair of the Association of Apprenticeships and previously City of London Lord Mayor in 2018/19 also joins the conversation as a champion of both digital skills and D&I, and promoting the apprenticeship journey. Previously he was CFO at Citi, Barclays, Salomons and a partner at PWC.

Work in Fintech co-founder Matt Cheung hosts the podcasts which touches upon a variety of topics, ranging from the impact of degree apprenticeships to the future of learning. The group talk about how partnership programs, such as the collaboration between University of Warwick and Goldman Sachs, can create an equity of opportunity, challenging the traditional route of attaining a degree and fostering inclusivity.
