Summer Program - Wall Street Career Prep
Introduction
The summer program is a weeklong classroom session combined with an internship at a financial firm. This weeklong program takes place near Wall Street in New York City, and aims to provide a real world understanding of our capital markets. The internship schedule and location will depend on the sponsoring company.
Students will learn how to best prepare academically and professionally. Students will find their schoolwork more exciting as they see the relevance and applicability to the real world.
Equally important, students will have a better sense of the specific career tracks within Wall Street and explore where their interest may be. Additionally, we help students land a Wall Street job or internship with resume review and interview practice.
The program is administered in an interactive and engaging manner. Instead of dry lectures, we relate case studies based on real experiences. We know that students learn better from dynamic and passionate teachers. Ultimately, what you remember from this program and how it shapes your future is most important to us.
