Voices of RPIA
In Our Community
Our aim with the RPIA ACE Scholarship is to have a strong impact on a student’s life as they launch into their career. Our conversations with the university revealed the increased tuition for upper year students and the university’s desire to improve support for Black and Indigenous students in the program. The result was the RPIA ACE Scholarship, which we hope will help bridge the existing gaps and help a new student every year. In addition to financial support, we hope to include every year’s recipient in our firm’s internal Mentorship Program where they can learn from industry leaders and gain valuable insights and advice for their career growth.
Upcoming Initiatives
I am very excited about the launch of the RPIA ACE Program! Giving back to the community has always been an important part of our culture, and I can’t wait to see how we can impact young people in Canada and empower them to become strong leaders.
RPIA ACE Internship
The ACE Program will be launching a paid summer internship on the Investment Team for an upper year university student enrolled in one of the three business schools in Toronto, starting in Summer 2023. This student will have the opportunity to work closely with members of the Portfolio Management, Credit Research, and Risk teams on a day-to-day basis, and the internship program includes the opportunity to spend some time on the client side of the business and also contribute to some strategic initiatives on an innovation team project. At the end of this internship, our hope is that this individual will gain valuable experiences for their career, receive insightful mentorship, and feel proud of their achievements and contributions within the firm.
