I’m getting in touch from Eden Scott (based in Edinburgh) because we’re partnering with CIMA Scotland to run a Finance Career Speed Mentoring Event on 31st March, and I believe it would be of genuine value to your graduate students—particularly those graduating in 2026.
This event is designed to help early‑career professionals gain clarity, inspiration, and real‑world insight into what a career in finance can look like. Students will take part in bite‑sized mentoring conversations with senior finance leaders, hear personal career stories, and build confidence in their next steps.
A quick overview of what’s involved:
- Speed mentoring with experienced finance professionals
- Speaker spotlights featuring six senior leaders
- Networking with peers, mentors, CIMA, and Eden Scott
- Practical insight into career planning and diverse finance pathways
Confirmed mentors include:
Carla Rossini (CEO, LEA Global), Cameron Barr (Finance & Ops Director, FLB Group), Heather Kiteley (Group Chief Executive, Harbour), Lee Hamill (Finance Director, University of Dundee), Gillian Johnston (Senior FBP, Aberdeen Investments), and Michelle Motion (Director of Operational Finance, Iomart Group).
If possible, I’d be grateful if you could share this through your employability channels, such as:
- Student newsletters
- Careers announcements
- LinkedIn groups or internal platforms
- Relevant modules or programme mailing lists
Here is the event registration link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/speed-mentoring-shaping-your-career-path-with-cima-tickets-1978237573836, but it is the incorrect date on this link, the event is being arranged for 31st March and they are just in the process of getting this sorted. What is the best way to promote this within the student body?
