Five students – Priyana Babla, Simreth Grewal, Aliza Rahmani Maywandi, Issabella Pellumbi, and Ameera Mahmud – attended an insight day at ABN AMRO as part of International Women’s Day on 19th March, 2026.
The event provided students with a valuable opportunity to develop their understanding of the financial sector. They engaged with professionals from a range of departments, gaining insight into career pathways, workplace responsibilities, and key areas including risk management, financial services, markets, and commercial banking. This exposure supported students in broadening their awareness of the diverse opportunities available within the industry.
A highlight of the day was an interactive trading session, where students participated in the game “Pit,” enabling them to explore the historical development of trading practices in an engaging and practical way.
Students also benefited from hearing the experiences of Sally Abé, whose career journey provided valuable insights into resilience and overcoming challenges in professional environments.
Overall, the experience contributed positively to students’ career aspirations and encouraged them to develop confidence in asking questions and engaging with professionals. The school is grateful to ABN AMRO for facilitating this meaningful and enriching opportunity and have offered work experience in summer.
