Write a commentOn Monday 18th October, Mr Paul Sloane, Investment Manager for Martin Currie Investment Management Ltd, Edinburgh visited the Business Studies Department of St Colman’s College. He addressed the S3 and S4 Accounting and Business Studies students giving them a thorough and in depth insight into a career in Equity Investment and Actuary.
Paul also outlined in detail his career profile, the various companies he has worked for including names such as Standard Life. A key note of his address was the various different paths which can be taken in order to join this profession and the absolute necessity of preparation through work placements and voluntary work etc.
Mr C. O’Hare (H.o.D Careers) commenting on the visit stated ‘We are delighted to have someone with Paul’s vast experience speaking to our students to give them an insight into what might otherwise be seen as a niche market’ he also conveyed his sincere thanks to Mr Sloane’s brother, Mr Peter Sloane (Gifted & Talented Coordinator) for his support in arranging this visit and to Mrs P Somerville (H.o.D Business Studies) for hosting the event.
Following this visit both the Business Studies Department and Careers Department have established a very valuable link with the Financial Services Sector and hope to strengthen these link in the near future.
