GIIP Spring Days: Networking at The National Gallery

After 10 weeks of workshops, seminars and mentoring, the time has come for The GAIN Investment Insight programme (GIIP) students to come together to network and celebrate at The National Gallery. In this episode, we’re joined by three inspiring GIIP students — Sophie, Amy and Elodie — alongside Dominique Trinidad, a GIIP mentor, and Olivia Pether from the Early Careers & Talent team at Columbia Threadneedle.Together, they take us behind the scenes of the GIIP, sharing honest reflections on what they’ve learned, how the experience has shaped their confidence, and why representation in finance really matters. Dominique offers insight into volunteering with GAIN and what it’s like to support the next generation and the impact mentors can make — while Olivia shares invaluable advice from an employer’s perspective.Whether you’re considering applying for one of our programmes, thinking about volunteering, or simply curious about careers in investment management, this episode is packed with practical tips, real experiences and encouragement to put your best foot forward.For more information on our programmes, internships, events and resources visit  gainuk.org.  You can also find us on LinkedIn or Instagram. Got a question?
