Who we are:

We’ve been helping clients plan and invest for their futures for over 50 years. From more than 25 locations around the world, we provide investment services and retirement expertise to everyone from central banks to private individuals.

We’re known for acting with integrity and thinking for the long-term. And across our organisation, we foster a welcoming, caring, and inclusive culture where people feel respected, trusted, and able to be themselves.

The programme you’ll join:

At Fidelity International, we see student talent as a vital part of the future of our business, and we feel proud to offer a range of Early Careers opportunities from apprenticeships to graduate schemes. Our UK Work Experience programme offers students a chance to discover the wide range of career opportunities on offer in a financial services firm!

This event is open to Year 10-13 students looking to gain a broad understanding of what we do as they begin thinking about their future career ambitions.

What you’ll be doing:

This event will be taking place on Wednesday 02 August. It will be face to face at our 4 Cannon Street office in London, and you will be expected to be on site for the day.

During the day, you’ll get an introduction to a range of business functions at Fidelity, learn more about our industry-leading work and gain insights into our Early Careers programmes. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with colleagues at Fidelity, including managers, recruiters, and graduates.  You’ll also receive application hints and tips, to maximise your employability skills.

This is a great way for you to learn about the industry and the variety of opportunities available to you!
