Placement and Duration
Step In, Step Up – Foundations In Finance is Morgan Stanley’s development program aimed at identifying undiscovered talent and kick starting the careers of Year 13 students and supporting social mobility. We’re looking for diverse and underrepresented voices from less privileged backgrounds who are keen to learn about our industry and release their potential. Applicants don’t need any experience, just a passion and eagerness to learn about the world of Finance.
Through a 4 day program of workshops, students will gain insights into a number of different areas, including Technology, Investment Banking, Global Capital Markets and Sales, Trading & Research. Students will have the opportunity to delve into our culture and quiz employees through mentoring, networking, technical and professional skills training and panel sessions.
Participants will have the opportunity to be considered for a place on the 2022 Institutional Securities Spring Insight program or the 2022 Technology Spring Insight program. Those who join a Spring Insight program will also have the opportunity to be considered for an internship the following year and a Future Generation Scholarship.
This program runs in August and September.
