The Program:

Our Growing Diverse Leaders Program is designed to introduce highly motivated undergraduate students to The Raine Group. It aims to educate students about the TMT (Technology, Media and Telecommunications) sectors and offers an inside perspective into the role of an Analyst at our firm. During the program, participants will spend a day at Raine’s New York City office, engaging with team members at various levels to gain a deeper knowledge of our organizational culture. This experience is intended to prepare candidates for success and help them build meaningful relationships with both the Raine team and equally motivated peers.
