Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Insight into equities, fixed incomes, multi assets, doing group research projects for 3 days on those areas and discovering what interests us the most in the financial world. Further insight into ESG, CSR, Presentation skills, and further opportunities at Fidelity. Working in teams and listening to speakers from Fidelity (8am-5pm, through the duration of the 3-day programme)
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Insightful, useful, no question was a stupid question. It was extremely interactive and it was a pleasant environment which encouraged you to participate and contribute. Had the chance to speak and listen to professionals from all sectors of Fidelity.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
The networking opportunities both at the start of each day to interact with our peers, and the networking opportunities and sessions throughout the programme. They made it clear from the start that the programme was for us, not a competitive few days where we had to compete with each for some role. The culture of the programme invited collaboration and allowed us all to get to know each other and make new friends.
