Celebrating diversity in the actuarial profession 

In October we welcomed almost 180 people at both Count Me In at Staple Inn and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. These events were designed to introduce talented students from backgrounds that have historically been under-represented to the actuarial profession, and break down any misconceptions they may have about becoming an actuary. 

Our speakers and panellists represented as wide a section of society as possible, and helped the students discover the range of rewarding careers available in actuarial science. The speakers and panellists shared their personal actuarial journeys, the challenges they faced along the way and advice on securing a trainee role. Thank you to all sponsors and speakers, who made this event such a success.
