Professional Development Opportunity for Students Interning in NYC Summer 2019

Posted: 02 May 2019 07:54 AM PDT

The Financial Women's Association (FWA) is now accepting applications for its 2019 Wall Street Exchange (WSE) Professional Development and Leadership Program. Wall Street Exchange has been helping young women and men navigate the competitive financial job market for over 35 years. We would like to invite you to share this information with prospective qualified applicants at University of Maryland.

The program consists of a series of events hosted by top firms and companies for professional and personal development, as well as networking opportunities.


Please Note: The WSE is open to young women and men and it is not an internship opportunity. It is a career development program designed to augment and coincide with the summer internship experience of qualified rising college seniors working as summer interns in the New York metropolitan area.

Applications are due Wednesday, May 15, 2019. There is no cost to students to apply or participate.

Interested students should apply to the program as early as possible, even if they have not finalized their summer employment or internship plans. Proof of internship can be provided prior to the start of the program during the week of June 12, 2019. Space in the program is limited.
