At 29, Radhika Chandarana is a senior professional at JPMorgan Chase, a bank with a large presence in the UK. Chandarana is in her role because she was empowered to leave her home in the Midlands when an opportunity came her way.
"Outside London, nothing like this existed," Chandarana - main image, second left told a round table hosted by JPMorgan Chase in March 2024. The event gathered leaders from public and private sectors to discuss ways to help expand job opportunities to young people and boost the skills needed to prepare for in-demand careers.
Chandarana won a place in the inaugural Aspiring Professionals Programme (APP), a two-week work experience programme that took place at JPMorgan Chase's Canary Wharf headquarters in 2012. There, she began to build a network. A JPMorgan Chase mentor guided her as she applied to university, completed internships and eventually earned a job at the firm in 2016.
