Early Careers
Learning Objectives
Pursuing a career in financial services is often overwhelming for college students and recent graduates who have no experience in the field. Associates and Analysts are expected to contribute immediately, but often are not prepared even if they have a degree in Finance or Economics as theory is very different from the realities of global markets.
These courses are structured to provide the essential skills so graduates and interns can hit the ground running.
