Our Partnerships
GAIN Partnership
We have partnered with GAIN to help members explore careers in investment management and the wider finance industry. Through this partnership, we aim to provide access to career-focused workshops, interview preparation, networking opportunities and information about relevant internships and programmes. We want to make the finance industry more accessible and help our members build the confidence and skills to pursue opportunities.
