Nicosia, Cyprus. CFA Society Cyprus will launch its first annual online career event on May 14, marking a milestone in the development of the Alliance for Financial Education in Cyprus. The initiative is designed to connect academia, the investment industry and professional bodies.
Alliance leadership and objectives
The initiative is led by Constantinos Kourouyiannis, president of CFA Society Cyprus, and aims to strengthen financial education quality, industry relevance and professional readiness across the island. The alliance seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical academic learning and practical financial application, while preparing students for an increasingly competitive global environment.
Planned activities
Activities under the alliance include career events, guest lectures, mentorship programmes and participation in CFA Institute global initiatives. The alliance aims to equip students with technical skills, ethical grounding and industry awareness.
Online career event details
A central feature of the initiative is the CFA Society Cyprus Online Career Event, scheduled for May 14, 2026 at 17:00. The event will connect students, CFA candidates and young professionals with leading employers in Cyprus, and provide insights into the CFA Programme, investment careers and industry pathways.
“This initiative aims to provide insights into the CFA Programme and the investment profession while highlighting career pathways in finance,” Kourouyiannis said.
Annual platform and CFA designation awareness
The first objective of the alliance is to establish the CFA Society Cyprus Career Event as an annual platform bringing together universities, employers and the CFA Institute. The aim is to increase awareness of the CFA designation as a global investment standard and to strengthen the pipeline of future professionals entering the sector.
CFA Programme pathways
The CFA Programme has evolved in recent years and now includes three specialised Level III pathways in Portfolio Management, Private Wealth and Private Markets.
