Careers Network
Hello and welcome to AIMA’s Careers Network.
We have carved a space for individuals across our industry dedicated to self-development and fellowship. Whether you wish to meet and learn from like-minded professionals or seek a safe space to share challenges, resources and expertise, the network is here to support you at all stages of your career.
If you are interested in joining the network, please contact me at [email protected].
Launched in May 2020, the Careers Network provides an opportunity for individuals across our member firms to connect, find mentors and access resources to help further their careers.
Three subgroups of the network have been convened for Early Professionals (recent graduates and those with up to 5 years’ experience in the industry); Middle Level Professionals (5 - 10 years' experience in the industry) and Experienced Professionals (10+ years' experience in the industry).
The network has held skills workshops with a focus on self and career development - how to develop a personal brand (and virtually), career moves abroad and the art of communication.
In Summer 2024, AIMA launched a global networking programme offering members the opportunity to be paired with and meet professionals across our member firms on a one-to-one basis. Over 80 individuals participated in the programme – 50% of which had over 10 years’ experience in the industry and 20% had less than 5 years’ experience. Around 250 meetings were arranged. Participants found the scheme helpful in building their industry network and forging mentoring relations. If you would be interested in participating in the programme, please contact Aniqah Rao with the following details:
