How can Insight Events make a difference?
Case Study - Maisy Salsbury
Maisy successfuly completed the CISI Level 3 Diploma in Finance, Risk & Investment in academic year 2017-18 and won the CISI award for best performing student the the Certificate in Finance, Risk & Decision-Making.
Maisy attended a grammar school in Kent where there was an expectation for students to attend university following the sixth form. During her time studying towards the CISI qualification, she took the opportunity to attend three London Insight Events which were held during half-terms. The London events, hosted by
Investment 2020 and their partner asset management firms, encouraged Maisy to review her options post A-levels;
"The events I attended through the CISI qualification inspired me to apply for an internship or apprenticeship, a route I hadn’t ever considered before."During the events, Maisy took part in speed-networking sessions where she was able to interact with practitioners working in different areas of a financial services firm. Maisy feels that this provided her with a competitive advantage and helped differentiate her from other prospective candidates when applying for school-leaver roles in financial services firms.
"Thanks to the CISI and the Insight days it introduced me to, I have managed to connect with some influential people working in the financial sectors. This is a unique privilege that no other students (outside of CISI) have. It’s a real benefit"Since completing the CISI qualification, Maisy has gained a place on a prestigious school-leaver programme at
JP Morgan Asset Management via the Investment 2020 scheme.
