Finance/Business Internship bei Cambridge Investment Research, Inc.

Cambridge has recruited talented interns from across the country to join us during the summer for a 11 week paid internship. We'll have over 25 interns join us at our home offices in Fairfield, Iowa and Phoenix, Arizona. The Next Step internship program gives students practical insight into the financial services industry and allows students to gain practical knowledge in their field. Students are partnered with a professional mentor, supervisor, and executive leader to gain networking opportunities and learn from industry professionals. At the conclusion of the internship, each intern will have the opportunity to present on their experience and a specific project of their choice.  

Cambridge offers internship opportunities within its Accounting and Investments & Insurance departments, providing students with hands-on experience in financial operations, product research, and cross-functional collaboration.
