FROM OUr PARTNER

Fidelity International and the Opportunity through Adversity Undergraduate of the Year Award

Apply

At Fidelity, 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 in the long-term. Across our organisation, we foster a welcoming, caring, and inclusive culture where people feel respected, trusted, and able to be themselves. We are looking for bold ideas, curiosity, and creativity. It’s who you are that matters here, rather than what you studied. It takes all kinds of people and ideas to help our clients plan and save for the futures they want - we want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to access a career with us. This is because, fundamentally, we believe that ability is distributed evenly across every population; however, opportunity is not. The Opportunity Through Adversity award recognizes where individuals have encountered difficult circumstances and encourages them to view that adversity as part of their success story. We believe you deserve to fulfil your full potential, irrespective of your background. Apply now and tell us why you’re proud to be you!
