First FT Talent Challenge in New York
From November 30th to December 2nd, FT Talent will host its first-ever Talent Challenge in New York. We will be selecting 50 bright entrepreneurial minds who are interested in innovating the Future of News.
Participants will compete in teams to solve real business & strategic cases related to the digital and media world while working directly with FT mentors who will support them throughout the event. They will be working on challenges related to how the FT can be better at attracting and engaging younger readers, especially university students.
The FT Talent Challenge is a competition from the Financial Times that invites bright young talent from all over the world to pitch solutions for our most pressing business challenges.
Are you a creative and motivated university student in New York? Are you intrigued by the world of media and want to learn more? Do you have ideas about what the future of media can look like? We want to hear from you!
Applications are now open and will close on 14th November 2022, 9pm BST.
Speaking about the challenge, Virginia Stagni, Director of the FT Talent Challenge said, “It is great to see the FT Talent model expanding to the US. We always had a global audience in mind, but this is the first time we are welcoming students in our NYC office - a new step to show the global voice and presence of the Financial Times. I am excited to see what solutions are brought up by the US challengers”
