Welcome to
Leaders Investing in Financial Excellence

Powered by Toigo, Leaders Investing in Financial Excellence (LIFE) is a one-year program designed to develop and deliver a new cohort of finance industry leaders.

For 35+ years Toigo set the standard for the next generation of leadership in finance via its Fellowship program; with LIFE, the non-profit has reframed its graduate programming centered on assessment, education, technical mastery and internship-readiness.

Why Participate in LIFE

More women and more professionals are beyond retirement age. Every individual has unique strengths to bring to an organization, yet for too long, employers have failed to attract and retain sufficient levels of talent. The challenge and opportunity of employing talent is a strategic mandate, not a social one.

Participants—Go Further Faster

LIFE provides candidates pursuing graduate degrees who are committed to careers in finance with a way to go further faster, based on their specific needs and career aspirations. The one-year program includes:

  • Onboarding assessment to map your year ahead and career trajectory
  • Intensive training sessions including AI modeling, quantitative and technical skills
  • Sector and asset class deep dives
  • Exposure to finance professionals from Toigo’s expansive finance firm network
  • Opportunity to build a network beyond your campus/classroom
  • One-on-one coaching to help you strengthen your candidate / hiring profile
