My Role
Hi! I'm Mia Tallon, final year International Business student and the new campus brand ambassador for the ICAEW!
My job is to make sure everyone across campus knows about the opportunities that ICAEW offers to all students on all programmes, and how you can get started.
I want everyone to know about the free tools, training and development resources on offer, especially if you are not studying an accounting and finance degree, because these opportunities can be a great fit for ANYONE who is interested in being their best selves!
"Chartered accountancy isn't just for accounting and finance students! Whatever you study, you could become an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, and the problem-solving, communication and analytical skills you are building on your course are exactly what employers look for"
Mia Tallon, BSc International Business | ICAEW Brand Ambassador
