Partnership with a French association call ARPEHJE where once a year disabled students are invited to our Parisian office for the day and are showed around the office and introduced to a variety of different jobs ( for instance what is the a job of someone working in HR, in Finance , in compliance, etc .) Abrdn employees from all over our different EMEA offices could book a specific time to join in and introduce their job to the students. The Students were French speaks so this was targeted for French speaking employees to join.

The objective to give the students and overview of the different jobs found at abrdn, allow them to ask any questions, have a better understanding of each role and see how the office is run.

This was a very interesting and insightful experience where people had to explain their jobs very clear to these specific students. Those who chose to participate, found it lovely to share their jobs and answering the students questions. This creates a real sense ofinclusion and community.
