Events

We run and participate in events that enable young people to meet and network with employers and gain a greater understanding of the actuarial profession. This includes networking events with employers, panel discussions, careers fairs and events to support diversity and inclusion.

Our award winning annual event Count Me InÌýcelebrates the diversity within the profession and encourages bright young maths students from historically unrepresented backgrounds to become actuaries.
In these uncertain times, we areÌýnot currently hosting in-person events. However, we will continue to host digital events to help young people reach employers and make their first steps towards becoming an actuary.

We also support schools and universities through our Career Ambassador programme. Careers ambassadors work for a number of different actuarial employers and can volunteer theirÌýtime to take part in school and university events as speakers orÌýpanel members. As much as possible, we match schools and universities with career ambassadors in thatÌýregion, so that students gain valuable insight into the actuarial profession from someone who they can relate to.
