Making Headlines
News of the Toigo Private Equity Post-Graduate MBA Fellowship has generated coverage in a mix of leading business and finance publications.
BusinessWeek
“The Carlyle Group and the Robert Toigo Foundation have joined forces to help make it easier for minority MBA graduates to pursue a career in the private equity sector, a field long criticized for its lack of diversity in the top ranks. Beginning today, second-year MBA students can apply for the new Toigo Private Equity MBA Fellowship, a year-long program where fellows will divide their time between working at Carlyle, its portfolio companies and some of the firms’ investors, according to a press release from the Toigo Foundation.”

“Carlyle—at one time famous for having former presidents and prime ministers on its payroll—is taking a step to attract more women and minorities into the male-dominated world of private equity. “I’d say that private equity firms have been behind investment banks and law firms (in such hiring),” David Rubenstein, co-founder of Carlyle told Reuters.”
