The Internship Placement Process

Finance

Money does, in fact, make the world go round. The financial services industry refers to borrowers and lenders of money. The flow of money into and out of investments around the world is the very lifeblood of the global economy.The high-stakes and big pay checks have made the field of finance desirable for many young professionals and despite an economic downturn that has tempered job growth in the sector, long-term industry growth will certainly be strong.

The industry can be broadly categorized into three sectors: public, personal, and business finance. Accountants, investment bankers, stock brokers, financial advisers, and hedge fund managers are just a few examples of professionals in the industry.

Accountants help individuals and firms prepare financial statements and decide how to utilize their financial resources. Corporate finance officers help companies raise capital for new plans or products. Public finance professionals raise money to build roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. Financial advisors help build an individual financial portfolio.

A CE finance intern could analyze an investment opportunity, conduct research for a hedge fund, or even help design a customized retirement portfolio.

Past CE finance interns have:

  • Learned about the stock market and how professionals navigate the system.
  • Assisted financial specialists in analyzing and managing real estate accounts, profits, and overhead
  • Researched stock purchases
  • Analyzed government budgets
  • And much, much more...
