Hear it from our interns

“Throughout my internships, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to support some other teams in the Investment Resource Group and engage in various projects. Collaborating with different teams gave me deeper insight into the company’s operations. This helped me understand how the different teams contributed to the company’s overall success.”

Sophia Samilski
Intern, Institutional Client Reporting

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers – explore our FAQs

Can I apply for more than one internship at once?

Yes, you can submit multiple applications. During your initial phone screening, a member of our recruitment team will ask which is your preferred internship if you apply for more than one.

Can I work from home?

The approach varies by team and affiliate, but we are proud to offer a hybrid work approach. Interns typically follow the routine of the team they are hired with.

What qualifications do I need to apply?

We offer internships to students in university who are actively enrolled in an undergraduate degree, but we also have opportunities for students in college depending on the internship. Qualifications will vary depending on the team.

When does the internship start/end?

We offer internships year-round that follow a summer, fall, winter co-op cycle.

What training or upskilling will I receive as an intern?

You will learn many skills during your internship. Your mentor will add to the foundation you learn in school and allow you the opportunity to contribute to ongoing projects and manage tasks. We offer a structured process for feedback that includes frequent touchpoints with your mentor as well as a mid-internship and end-of-contract performance review.

Do interns typically get hired at the firm after completing the program?

Full-time opportunities are dependent on availability, but we encourage all our interns to keep an eye on open opportunities as we are always growing!

How many interns do you hire every summer?

Hiring varies by affiliate but we almost always have active internships.

Hear from our scholarship recipients

Thank you so much for supporting my education through Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures scholarship. The financial support helps me focus on my studies and alleviates the stress of rising school costs. With this scholarship, I can maintain my role as a part-time ski coach outside of school. Thank you for your generous support of my education.
