Fidelity International Technology Placements & Events

We have three placement streams this year:

These streams encompass a number of related teams which candidates might be placed into during their time with us.


To help students decide which opportunity is right for them, we have several events coming up focused on our opportunities in Tech and our assessment process – they are all free, virtual, and will be recorded.

  • 16 November @ 12.00 GMT – 2023 Technology Industrial Placements explained
    • We will cover the three streams we are running for 2023, with a senior leader joining to represent each stream
    • We will explain who Fidelity are, an overview of our Technology function, and then for each stream will explain the types of roles and opportunities available, the types of candidates we are looking for, and the career journeys of the speakers on the call
    • We will also briefly cover the application process
  • 23 November @ 17.00 GMT – Behind the Firewall: Technology Careers at Fidelity International
    • Attendees will get to meet senior leaders in Technology and understand their career journeys, as well as a short fireside chat with current graduates
    • This is not as explicitly linked to the 2023 programmes and their rotations, but is aimed at building an awareness of wider opportunities at FIL
  • 5 December @ 12.00 GMT – IP Skills Session 1: Identifying your Strengths
    • Fidelity International has a strengths-based application process. This session will explain what that means and give tips on how to prepare and identify your own strengths.
    • Business leads will join to give their perspective on what strengths are most relevant.
  • 12 December @ 12.00 GMT – IP Skills Session 2: Approaching the Assessment Centre
    • We will cover the structure of the assessment centre, give some tips on how to prepare, and go over common pitfalls

Students must register to attend the events via our website – registrations close at 23.55 GMT the night before each event. If they register and do not attend, they will still receive the recording.
