Summer Analyst & Associate programs
The Summer Analyst & Associate programs are ten-week programs for students in their penultimate year of study. As a Summer Analyst or Associate, you'll be trained, placed in a business and encouraged to develop your skills. You'll contribute as a full and valued member of the team, assuming responsibilities similar to those of a first-year Analyst or Associate.
We'll also supplement on-the-job experience with a comprehensive training curriculum designed to provide you with professional skills, industry knowledge and development opportunities. This training includes management-led overviews and presentations by internal and external experts on relevant financial products and market topics. We see the summer programs as the primary source for hiring full-time Analysts and Associates - which makes this a smart move for those looking for a career in operations.
The process
Most summer interns are placed into one business area for the entire ten-week summer program. Exactly where will be decided based on business needs, your preferences and the skills and interests that you demonstrate during the interview process.
Feedback
There's an ongoing feedback and review process to make sure that you get the most out of your intern experience. You'll be reviewed twice: once in the middle and again at the end of the program.
Buddies and mentors
Your buddy will be on hand to offer advice and support. They will draw on their recent experience as an Analyst or Associate to help you settle into your role and guide you through the program.
You'll also have a mentor to offer advice and provide a broader perspective on your career outside the formal management structure. Mentors are there to support, motivate and help you make informed decisions.
