Are you interested in advancing your career in finance and funds or at least exploring some topics in this field?

Join us for an exciting online event, Finding your Finance Feet: Microcredentials in Finance and Funds. In this short webinar, the Funds Academy will discuss your opportunity to dip your toes into the world of finance and funds by taking a short microcredential course in September with Munster Technological University. Does ESG or sustainable finance sound like your bag? Or maybe an introduction to the world of regulated investment funds is more your thing? With online and blended courses, we have something for everyone at MTU, as does our project partner SETU, so come along to this session to find out more.

A webinar link will be emailed to registrants before the event!

This is a free event – registration is via Eventbrite on the link here:
