Please note: If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in September 2025. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.
IMC Trading's operations are global in nature and the ability to travel to the United States for work is a requirement of the graduate traineeship program. Please note that the U.S. Consulate General is currently facing challenges with visa approvals for candidates from Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine. As a result, we will be unable to proceed with your candidacy for the graduate traineeship program at this time. We greatly appreciate your understanding and hope to consider you for future opportunities.
If you are a dual-passport holder of a country other than Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine, we encourage you to apply and inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: [email protected] .
