“This partnership with Pursuit helped us open up a new arena for bringing talent into the organization that we felt was previously untapped. At Citi, diversity of background, gender, thought, and experience across all spectrums is really important to make sure that we have an inclusive environment where people can really feel like they can be themselves and bring their best ideas.”
Christopher Lemoine SVP of Global Spread Products Technology at Citi

Our partnership removes barriers for new talent while meeting the talent demands of Citi’s existing analyst program. Working together, we removed the college degree requirement for the Citi Summer Analyst program. Additionally, a unique “prep year” was designed for our talented non-college candidates who do not return for their senior year of college.

This groundbreaking partnership creates a new career pathway for nontraditional talent at Citi. It is an industry-leading model that propels talent through a primary career track rather than a backdoor way with limited advancement.

  • Pursuit-Citi Fellows are working across 3 locations and multiple lines of business

  • One of largest contributors to Citi’s Analyst diversity goals

  • 2019 to 2022: 76% retention over 4 years
