The SAI's Diversity, Equity, Accessibility & Inclusion (DEAI) Committee organises Transition Year Work Experience program (the “SAI TY program”) with the aim of introducing the actuarial profession to students from diverse backgrounds.

The program can accommodate up to 30 transition year students each and includes a mix of practical assignments linked to the actuarial profession and conversations / round tables / presentations from actuaries at various stages in their career and from various backgrounds.
The schedule of programs for 2025 is listed below. If you are interested in attending any of these, please register here https://sai.savvyteens.com/. Please note that students from Northern Ireland are also welcome to attend and those interested must ensure they have appropriate permissions in place before registering.
