Why are we offering this Finance Career Jump Start program?
The selection process for financial services jobs has become very dependent on the summer internship between your junior and senior year. A growing number of sophomores also land internships gaining exposure and the ability to return the following summer. This increases an undergraduate’s chances of securing full-time postgraduate offers. As the quest for best talent continues on Wall Street, you must be ready to present yourself and compete for internship opportunities early in your undergraduate experience. This day-long program will jump start you on your way to increasing the possibility that you will successfully obtain one of these coveted jobs.
