2025 Wall Street Exchange Professional Development and Leadership Program
The Wall Street Exchange (WSE) Program has been helping young professionals navigate the competitive financial job market for 49 years.
The Wall Street Exchange program is designed for rising senior students with paid internships for the Summer of 2025 with a financial services company or a financial position with a non-financial services company. The WSE program does not participate in internship placement.
The program consists of a series of virtual workshops hosted by top firms and companies for professional and personal development and networking with industry professionals. Each year, WSE features a dynamic lineup of partner firms, ensuring fresh perspectives and connections for participants.
Benefits of participation in WSE include:
- Enhance job search skills through workshops that help you create and leverage your unique professional brand
- Develop leadership techniques and other soft skills necessary to execute a successful job search and succeed in your career
- Build a professional network with fellow program participants and interns and employees from sponsor firms
- Learning about the different company cultures unique to different organizations based in different countries from experienced industry insiders
The 2025 Wall Street Exchange Program will be primarily virtual with highly interactive and engaging workshops and webinars hosted by our partner firms. If circumstances permit, will host one or more events in person in New York City.
Past Wall Street Exchange Programs consisted of sessions hosted by:
- Bank of Montreal Capital Markets
- BNP Paribas
- BNY Mellon (The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation)
- Deloitte
- DTCC (The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation Guardian
- MUFG Bank (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group)
- New York Life
- PGIM (Formerly Prudential Investment Management)
- SMBC (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation)
- Stifel Financial Corp
- UBS
- Wells Fargo Advisors
- Oliver Wyman
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 9, 2025.
We evaluate candidates holistically with a committee of dedicated professionals. Program placements are made on a rolling basis until June 1st. This means that spots in the program are filled throughout the application process, so an earlier application submission is in your favor. Once the program seats have been filled, this WSE online application will close.
Please note: The WSE is open to all genders and it is not an internship opportunity. It is a career development program designed to augment and complement the summer internship experience of qualified rising college seniors working as summer interns in the tri-state area.
Applications are due by June 1st, 2025.
