Loughborough University runs a three-day finance simulation with Amplify: asset management on day one, sales and trading on day two, live trading on day three. Students say it clarified which roles they actually want and opened doors to careers they hadn't considered.

We're really excited for day one. We've got asset management. Day two, we've got sales and trading, and day three, we've got the live trader. Loughborough University has a long history of engagement with industry. Our partnership with Amplify was continuing down that way in order to bring work-based practical learning to our teaching. The simulations that Amplify do with the students are so very insightful in terms of allowing students to experience firsthand key roles within the finance sector. Being able to react to live information, that's precisely what students are able to experience. Only when you're in a role do you get first-hand experiences, whereas with these Amplify training sessions, students are able to experience these roles and determine whether these are the roles that they'd like to be undertaking post-graduation.
This kind of solidifies my understanding of the role that I'd like to pursue. This is exactly what I want to be doing.
Oh, I've been rubbing it. It's definitely up my eyes and something that I might want to try to get into.
I didn't have the thought about being a trader, but now I do after doing this. Yes, I do.
