The Institute for Capital Market Research Internship Program is more than an internship. It’s an opportunity to explore your capabilities and voice your opinions on real world topics.
Our Internship Program aims to develop our interns by equipping them with relevant skills and on-the-job experience to take your career to the next level. It’s a unique opportunity to gain real life exposure to the world of finance through in depth exposure into the capital markets. We give interns a chance to create meaningful work in an intellectually stimulating environment dedicated to researching capital markets. During the 10-12 weeks internship, you’ll feel empowered to conduct your own research ideas, own your work and be recognized for your contributions.
As an ICMR Intern, you will be given a high level of responsibility in your assigned tasks involving a broad range of issues relating to capital markets. Under the guidance of key staff members at The Institute, interns will take an active role on a variety of assignments ranging from collecting, compiling and analyzing statistical data through internal and external sources, assisting in the preparation of research reports and research-related events and administrative duties.
