Outreach and Advocacy
ADVOCACY
We aim to move the topic of gender diversity to the main strategic agenda of the industry and individual firms. We help create a strong voice for women in private equity by promoting the business case for gender diversity and increasing awareness of the challenges they face in the industry. Level 20’s advocacy work includes talking directly to the leaders of private equity firms about the value of building inclusive cultures to allow diversity to flourish, publishing “Thought Leadership” pieces on building diverse teams and engaging with a wide range of influencers, including government and the media, to promote the benefits of greater gender diversity.
OUTREACH
Level 20 runs outreach activities across all of its chapters across Europe. As well as providing insight into the industry for students, our outreach programmes also target female professionals currently working in other industries who may be interested in working in private equity. We aim to increase the entry of women into the industry at all stages including those that may otherwise not have considered a career in private equity.
Some of the activities that our chapters run include:
- summer academies for students
- internships with private equity firms
- events in partnership with business schools and universities
- “Speed Networking” events
- partnering with search firms on recruitment events
