23rd May 2025 Developing real confidence in the workplace
130 students and one unforgettable day made possible by the incredible support of M&G plc volunteers
We were proud to deliver the M&G Experience Day - a high-impact event designed to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and inspiration to take their next steps.
The theme of the day was giving REAL confidence.
Across a dynamic and engaging day, students from across London took part in a variety of work-place and financial literacy focused activities:
-
Grow their financial confidence through an interactive seminar on saving and investing
-
Hear directly from M&G’s Chair, Edward Braham and CEO, Andrea Rossi during a Q&A on leadership and future careers
-
Develop employability skills through speed mentoring, mock interviews, and networking with M&G volunteers
-
Learn how to leverage LinkedIn to support future job applications and build a professional presence
-
Take part in a fast-paced trading game to explore how investing works, and learn about risk and reward
Students told us that the day had a powerful impact on them, with many feeling more confident in their abilities, clearer about their future, and inspired to explore new opportunities.
The surreal experience is something that will have an effect on me for a lifetime, this programme is something I have never experienced before and the insight and opportunities provided were excellent.

I feel like I got real feedback from the exact people I needed to hear it from which I can now put into practice throughout my career journey.
