The Summer Analyst Program in Human Resources

How the program works and the day-to-day experience you can expect

The Summer Analyst Program offers an intensive hands-on introduction to Human Resources at Morgan Stanley. Summer Analysts are placed into a coverage or product role. Throughout the program, Analysts will attend various training sessions designed to facilitate professional development, enhance their HR skills and increase knowledge and understanding of the firm as well as philanthropic and social networking events. Towards the end of the two-month program, Analysts will team with each other to develop a solution for an existing enterprise-wide HR challenge.  These proposals are presented to HR Senior Management and the Division at large. Additionally, each Analyst will be assigned a mentor, who will help you navigate through the organization and provide guidance as you embark on your career. We expect that these experiences will provide an opportunity to build a strong foundation for a possible career in Human Resources at Morgan Stanley.
