Program Overview:

The Summer Professional Internship (SPI) is a competitive, full-time 10-week program focused on providing interns with practical business experience, leadership skills and exposure to senior leaders across Morgan Stanley. Throughout the 10 weeks, Summer Professional Interns are immersed in the Morgan Stanley culture and atmosphere through project assignments, networking opportunities and peer social events. After initial training & orientation, interns spend the summer learning the wealth management business directly from Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Service Professionals, and by participating in development programs with business leaders. Interns will have the opportunity to study for and complete the FINRA Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam with support from our dedicated training team. The internship experience will conclude with building a final presentation on a key strategic initiative within the Virtual Client Solutions organization. Our interns are an integral part of a fast-paced team that spans across seven major U.S. cities – working together to provide a high standard of care to clients and participants around the world. Please note: the SPI is a competitively compensated opportunity.

This internship is expected to take place fully in-person at our Gilbert, AZ office location.
