The Populate Wall Street course, presented by 17 Asset Management, unfolds in a fully-virtual format with all the rigor of an in-person experience. The course lays the foundation for 17AM Sustainable Investing Fellows, students, newcomers to the industry, and to early and returning financial professionals, to build or enhance their understanding of every aspect of the financial services landscape. With the rise of the stakeholder economy and the heightened expectations of institutional accountability, how do ethics and values impact the future of the financial industry? How will you make a difference in a world that now expects greater corporate stewardship of our communities and planet?
Our goals for the course are to understand that the responsibility of “populating” Wall Street with ethics and values lies with Wall Street’s next generation of leaders, and to set the scene for a course content focused on exploring how we can hold the industry accountable to that change.
