The IFoA can support you with raising awareness of actuarial careers, exploring actuarial apprenticeship opportunities and promoting graduate recruitment
We work in partnership with employers of actuaries to promote the actuarial profession to outstanding maths students from a diverse range of backgrounds, reaching students across the globe through a range of channels and events, regularly publishing engaging digital and print content, and building networks with schools, universities, teachers and careers advisers.
We have a range of resources available to help you reach students and support your current actuarial trainees.
Would you like to reach talented students in schools and universities? We have a range of options to help employers reach young people interested in the actuarial profession, and we continue to explore innovative digital and in-person opportunities to reach talented, diverse students.
Our Employer Directory provides a platform for leading actuarial employers worldwide to promote work placements, internships, trainee and graduate roles to top maths students.
We also have opportunities to reach students through careers blogs, emails and events, including our award-winning Count Me In event.
Our flagship Count Me In event celebrates the diversity within the actuarial profession and inspires students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, to become actuaries.
Our Career Ambassadors play a central role in promoting actuarial careers, apprenticeships and graduate opportunities. Our Careers Ambassadors demonstrate the diversity within the profession, sharing their career journeys and experiences and providing valuable insight into the first steps to becoming an actuary. They also raise the profile of their employers amongst young people, considering their career opportunities and can spot talented students who may one day become a valued member of your team.
We support IFoA Career Ambassadors to engage with schools, universities and their local community through talks, events and careers promotion materials. They also have the opportunity to reach a diverse range of students and promote careers at your organisation through a number of different digital activities, including case studies, blogs and much more.

We are a growing global community, with over 65% of our student members based outside of the UK.
