30% Club Executive Education Scholarships Announced
The 30% Club Ireland has launched its 2024 Executive Education scholarship programme. IOB is proud to be involved with the 30% Club, working to enable women leaders. This year, two scholarships are available to women working in financial services for the following IOB programmes:
CIFD Programme
The CIFD Programme is designed for all investment fund directors, or those with extensive asset management or funds experience who aspire to become investment fund directors. It would also be a valuable programme for those operating in director/senior management positions within both fund promoter and service provider organisations, those responsible for the regulation of investment funds and institutional investor personnel responsible for the oversight of investment fund governance frameworks within their portfolio of investment funds.
Level 9 Programmes
IOB is offering the successful applicant the option to choose one of their level 9 programmes:
Professional Certificate in Asset Management
Professional Certificate in Retirement Planning
Professional Certificate for Designated Persons in a Fund Management Company
Professional Diploma in Applied Alternative Investments
Professional Certificate in Financial Crime Prevention
MSc in Compliance
Professional Diploma in Advanced Operational Risk Management in Financial Services
Professional Diploma in Leading Cultural Change and Ethical Behaviour in Financial Services
Professional Diploma in Data and Analytics in Financial Services
Professional Diploma in Digital Transformation in Financial Services
Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning
Professional Diploma in Strategic Management in Financial Services
Professional Diploma in Banking
“Diversity on Fund Boards is important and to achieve this there needs to be a pipeline of female professionals, with the appropriate skill set, ready for consideration when positions become available. Having obtained the CIFD designation has put me in a position to be considered, and I would not have achieved this without the support of the 30% Club Scholarship.”
