Corporate Day Hosted by Credit Suisse

On Tuesday, October 27th, Credit Suisse hosted a corporate day at their offices for First Step's Class 96. Dozens of Credit Suisse staff participated in the event, which included a Q & A and presentation, a tour of their trading floor, and round table lunch discussions. The Q & A provided an overview of Credit Suisse's businesses and touched upon career tracks of several of the staff. The tour was exciting for our students, and many marveled that some staffers have 5 or more computer monitors to track current events in the markets they work with. The round table discussions were the highlight for many of our women as it provided them with an opportunity to interact at length with some very successful staff. It was a wonderful day and all of us at First Step and Coalition for the Homeless extend our warmest appreciation to our partners at Credit Suisse.
