Under the Aviva programme, internal and external experts will provide coaching and mentoring for participants, along with training to help them develop additional technical skills and competencies. The programme is aimed at mid-to-senior level professionals with a background in asset management or wider financial services.

“This is a talent pool that is often overlooked by the general recruitment market, which can miss people who have been out of work for an extended period,” Kirsty Baldock, Head of Talent Acquisition at Aviva Investors, said.
