AFK College: Dreams, hopes and goals for the future

AFK Trainee Jermaine with his new colleagues at Schroders.

As part of our Life & Work programme, Jermaine has been gaining work skills and completed work placements at Sainsbury’s and a top law firm.

This summer he was offered his first paid role – a three month pilot IT internship in the global technology team at Schroders asset management firm based in London.

Jermaine said: “It’s great. I have made new friends already. What I enjoy the most is learning about IT, data protection and talking to my colleagues at lunchtime.”

Jo, Head of Corporate Responsibility, said: “Schroders is delighted to be supporting Jermaine in his career journey. We believe that our ability to understand and embrace different perspectives is crucial in today’s business and society and we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace.”
