Build a Growing Network of Untapped Talent
Why become our partner?
Opportunity should not stand in the way of talent.
ATLAS is the only nonprofit organization to focus solely on preparing under-resourced young people for careers in finance. Our students, or Fellows as they are called, receive four years of scholarships, mentorships, and real-world work experience to ensure they are prepared for life changing careers in the finance industry.
Benefits of becoming a partner
As an ATLAS partner you will be supporting our mission to transform the face of finance for generations to come. Whether you are a large bank or boutique firm, ATLAS provides:
Access to a curated slate of candidates
During an introductory conversation, we will learn about the technical and soft skills required for a successful internship. Next, we will provide a short list of candidates that meet the profile—all of whom met a rigorous bar for admission and have at least one year of internship experience and have received training in Excel, Finance 101 and Professional Development 101. You will be responsible for conducting interviews and making the final hiring decisions.

Associate Portfolio Manager, Balyasny Asset Management
ATLAS creates opportunity equity for talented young professionals—and the industry will benefit from having a wider and more diverse pool of talent to recruit from. I know that BAM will benefit from having young people with such strong experiences.

The search for talent has never been more intense. The ATLAS model has done an incredible job of finding and training the future leaders of financial services. I’ve been so thrilled with the students in the program and their drive and intellect. ATLAS gives them the tools to be successful in the profession.

Diversity statistics
Are the first in their family to attend college
We start relationships with high school seniors because it is a pivotal inflection point that allows us to identify and develop brilliant and hard working young people who might not otherwise have access to this career path.
We provide four years of college scholarships to ensure our Fellows can go to the college of their choice and graduate with a four-year degree.
We also provide more than just financial support to help them succeed. ATLAS’s professional development and internship opportunities provide career pathways in an industry that has an accelerated recruitment timeline and too often requires a legacy connection.
