My day isn't the same everyday, which makes my job more interesting and exciting. But overall I mainly put reports together and transfer data from different data sources onto Spreadsheets. I also send out emails to request data from fund teams.
I have learned many new skills such as all Microsoft Platforms, comparing different markets, and overall life skills which will help me in future positions and roles.
I love this programme with abrdn! It has taught me so much.
The programme is structured very well, which helps a lot when trying to keep on top of different projects.
I receive support and advice all the time form my employer, always there when I need the help.
I receive lot's of support from my training provider. I have a call every 4 weeks with him and he is very good to make time call if needed.
My qualification work has helped me in my role by learning more about technology, which relates to my job role in many ways.
At abrdn we have a bunch of Networking groups, I am involved in 3 of them and I attend monthly calls and events outside of work with these groups. It's a great way to meet new people.
Yes
I think abrdn's traineeship is the best way to start your career at a young age. The support, advice and, opportunities I have been given with abrdn is amazing.
Just be you!
