The School is proud to partner with Allspring Global Investments, a global asset management firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA), and with branches across the world including: London, Luxembourg, Paris, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Milan, Singapore and Tokyo.
Allspring supports our Year 12 Work Experience Programme that takes place in the Summer Term, and to introduce their placement they joined us on Wednesday 26th March to deliver a workshop providing an overview of asset management at Allspring and the various departments our students could engage with while on their placement. The partnership was facilitated by Investment 20/20 – a non-profit organisation that aims to promote investment management as a career pathway to diverse talent.
Allspring brought representatives from their Product Specialist, Distribution, Compliance and HR teams to outline their role in the business – then students engaged with a careers carousel where each volunteer met and talked with a small group of students about their career pathway. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to understand not just the asset management sector, but how larger organisations operate with several departments working as a team across the business.
The workshop was a great introduction to the Allspring Work Experience placements and we look forward to seeing which of our students apply over the April holidays.
Thank you to Allspring and Investment 20/20 for supporting the development of our young people’s future careers.
