The Wealth Management Corporate Internship Program is a track of our traditional Wealth Management Intern Program offering candidates exposure and access to the broader strategic leadership of our Wealth Management organization. The internship consists of a structured rotation of hands-on experience and insight into the various departments of the D. A. Davidson Wealth Management Division. This can include Finance, Research, Wealth Planning, Managed Solutions, Practice Management, and Trust. Additionally, the program provides a high-level overview and introduction of the leadership and functions of D. A. Davidson Asset Management, Investment Banking and Fixed Income Capital Markets divisions.
The purpose of the Program is to create an opportunity for one high-performing undergraduate or graduate student to gain insight into the broader business of Wealth Management outside of and including the Financial Advisor role. This Corporate Intern will gain knowledge of our Wealth Management business, processes, and strategic priorities and “learn by doing.”
This nine-week, full-time, paid internship program serves as a launch pad for future leaders in the Financial Services Industry looking to both acquire knowledge and provide insight into the many facets of the business. We believe that an environment that supports the backgrounds, experiences and perspectives of our people enrich our workplace, builds more opportunities for our associates, and yields positive outcomes for our clients and communities.
This program also covers the costs of studying and sitting for the FINRA SIE exam.
