Talent Connection
Promoting workforce inclusion and engagement in the asset management industry are important goals. ICI’s workforce initiatives include the Talent Connection—a series of webinars and other events that introduce students to the asset management industry and the substantial career opportunities available to them.
Students - Resumé Collections and Events
In addition to attending events Talent Connection program participants may submit resumés to the collection by selecting the submission form link below. All representatives of ICI member firms, non-members represented on ICI committees, and ICI Memos subscribers will have access to the resumés and may contact participants directly regarding internship and job possibilities.
Resumés will remain in the collection for one year after submission. After one year, the resumé will be removed from the collection. A participant may resubmit a resumé after the one-year period.
During the one-year period, participants may submit updated or edited resumés. The new submission will replace the original one and restart the one-year period.
By submitting your resumé, you are requesting and authorizing ICI to make available your resumé to all representatives of ICI member firms, non-members represented on ICI committees, and ICI Memos subscribers. ICI assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for the resumé you submit. It is your responsibility to review your resumé to ensure that the content appears as you intend and that it contains the information you intend to include. Submitting your resumé does not guarantee job interviews or hiring.
ICI is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between all representatives of ICI member firms, non-members represented on ICI committees, and ICI Memos subscribers, and candidates. As a result, ICI is not responsible for the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings. ICI makes no representations about any jobs or about any resumés or other data collected in association with the Talent Connection program.
Law School Students
Talent Connection events have been offered to law school students throughout the United States. At these events, ICI and industry representatives share information about the asset management industry and how it serves investors, the range of legal and compliance career opportunities in the industry, and insights into a day in the life of an asset management lawyer.
Undergraduate School Students
Webinars also have been designed for undergraduate students attending a range of colleges and universities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-Serving Institutions. At these events, asset management professionals representing various career paths—including investments, operations, and sales/marketing—introduce the fund industry, recount their own career journeys, and provide advice for obtaining jobs and achieving success in asset management.

What We’ve Heard from Our Members and Past Participants
There are lots of opportunities to learn in the role, to really role up your sleeves if you are excited about the subject matter, and excited about reading and understanding and spending time with the traders and financial professionals to understand how it all works.
You don't have to take a direct path for success in asset management. It's a truly great business where you can change majors, have a wide-ranging interests, and pivot while maintaining a successful and lucrative career in a broad and diverse industry.
I enjoyed hearing about the different pathways the panelists took to get into the industry. I thought it was good to demonstrate that there isn't one single way to go about looking for work in this area. I also thought the point about this area being a very small place where everyone knows everyone was useful.
I thought the speakers were really engaging and I learned a lot.
Very informative and really helps a lot to understand the asset management industry in general and the different roles within the industry.
I got an insight of the day to life of an asset manager and also knowing that an entry into the financial career arena is not linear.
