2026 Aberdeen Future Talent Program

As part of our commitment to ensure that all undergraduate students have equal access to information and opportunities regarding careers in financial services, Aberdeen is proud to offer an innovative four-day program that will provide students the opportunity to learn about careers in the investment management industry. This program was built as an extension to our traditional summer internship, which leads into our early careers analyst program.

This program will provide exposure to our culture, our people, and the different career paths possible, from investments, distribution, marketing, ETFs, operations and more. The dates of the program are May 18 - 21, 2026 and it will be held in person in our Philadelphia office. Participants will be provided a stipend upon successful completion of the entire four-day program.

Eligible candidates are those who have faced unequal or lesser opportunities, in which their educational or professional opportunities were diminished significantly by factors beyond their control, such as socio-economic status, sparse academic resources or opportunities, and/or other similar adverse circumstances on their career journey. We are targeting students in their freshman and sophomore years.

Over the course of 4 days, participants will experience a deep dive into the investment industry, an overview of what it’s like to work at Aberdeen, and a variety of networking opportunities with colleagues and senior leaders. Participants will also take part in personal development workshops, such as interview preparation, resume review, case study prep and more.

Successful completion of the Aberdeen Future Talent Program may allow participants to apply for our traditional summer internship for juniors, depending upon class year. Alternatively, we may have entry-level opportunities available for participants to pursue.
