Robert Half

Staffing firm that places contract and contract-to-hire workers in finance, accounting and technology. You upload a résumé or apply to listings.

Why I recommend it: The most tech-relevant staffing agency on this list. Its page doesn't mention part-time roles, W-2 status or candidate fees. Ask the recruiter. Expect to need relevant experience.

Morgan Stanley Finance Academy 2026–2027: Applications Open

A flyer announcing applications for the Morgan Stanley Finance Academy, a finance training programme for high school students run with PASE.

Why I recommend it: A single flyer, so it may not cover everything — check deadlines and eligibility with the organizers. Sponsored by Morgan Stanley, which uses it to build its own talent pipeline.

Capital One Full-Time Programs for Students and Grads

Capital One's full-time rotational programs for new graduates, covering technology, data, business analysis, product, design, audit and management tracks. Associates rotate across teams for a set period with structured mentorship, then settle into a role. The page lists each program and links to its current openings.

Why I recommend it: These are paid graduate jobs, not training you buy, and applying costs nothing. Rotational programs suit you if you do not know which team you want; if you already do, a direct role gets you there faster. Openings are seasonal, so search the listings rather than trusting the overview page, and check each posting for the degree year and work-authorization requirements before you spend time on the application.

Vals AI Model Benchmarks

Independent, free benchmarks testing leading AI models on real-world finance, software, science and safety tasks, with cost and latency alongside accuracy.

From the site: Private, domain-specific benchmarks in legal, tax, and finance.

Why I recommend it: When someone claims a model is "the best," check here — these are independent evaluations, not vendor marketing.

Barclays Data & Analytics Internships

Barclays' data and analytics internship track, covering the work interns do with data science, modelling and analytics teams and how to apply.

Why I recommend it: A good bridge if you have analytics coursework but no finance background — they train on the domain, not the tooling. Pair it with a portfolio project you can talk through.

Live posting for Citi's 2027 Markets Quantitative Analysis Summer Analyst role in New York, working on pricing models, risk analytics and quantitative research alongside trading desks.

Why I recommend it: If you have strong math, statistics or programming coursework, this is the quant route into markets. Expect technical questions on probability and coding, so prepare those before applying.

Goldman Sachs Campus Programs & Internships

Goldman Sachs' campus hiring site listing summer analyst, off-cycle and full-time entry-level programs across divisions and offices worldwide, with deadlines and application links.

Why I recommend it: Search the whole campus list here rather than relying on a single posting. Divisions open and close on their own schedules, so check often and apply the week a program opens.

Jane Street Programs and Events (North America)

Jane Street's listing of student programs and recruiting events in North America, including immersion and insight programs for first- and second-year undergraduates and workshops open to students exploring quant, trading, and software roles.

Why I recommend it: Several of these programs are aimed specifically at students who have faced barriers getting into tech and finance, and they recruit heavily from them. Deadlines run far ahead of the summer, so check dates now.

TD survey: small businesses look ahead but financial readiness varies

TD's 2026 financial preparedness survey on how small business owners are planning for the year, where confidence is high, and where cash and credit readiness is thin.

Free multi-day programs and events Jane Street runs for students exploring quantitative trading, technology, and research careers, including travel and housing for selected participants.

Why I recommend it: If you are a student anywhere near quant or engineering, these paid-for programs are one of the shortest routes to a real internship pipeline. Applications open on a set calendar, so check the deadlines early.

Blackstone Career Pathways

A workforce development program from Blackstone that creates career pathways, internships, and training opportunities inside Blackstone portfolio companies, with an emphasis on inclusive hiring and mobility.
