At Macquarie, we empower people to innovate and invest for a better future. We are a global diversified financial group operating in 33 markets with institutional, corporate, government and retail clients around the world.
Today, as commodities continue to underpin the building of our cities, as our global energy needs continue to grow, and with technology changing the world, the projects you will contribute to as an intern are helping to build a better future.
The program
Our fast-paced ten-week internship program will provide you with hands-on experience in the world of financial services.
The program kicks off with an orientation providing you with the opportunity to learn about the Macquarie business groups, meet fellow interns and expand your network.
On the desk, you’ll be given meaningful and challenging work allowing you to gain practical experience to tie into your theoretical knowledge from school. You will receive support from your manager and aligned mentor. And additionally, participate in philanthropic and social events to connect you to our collaborative culture. To conclude your summer, you will present a project that you worked on during the program to senior management.
