Greenwood Project Partnership

We have joined forces with The Greenwood Project to:

• Co-sponsor a Greenwood Project scholar’s summer internship and training program;

• Connect the Greenwood Project with FIA Members to source summer internships;

• Host Lunch & Learn sessions with industry leaders and government officials for Greenwood Project scholars; and

• Provide the Greenwood Project with training materials and support focused on cleared derivatives.

Provide an Internship 

FIA is encouraging our members to host a Greenwood Project scholar for a summer internship. These internships can take place all over the world.

The Greenwood Project offers a ten-week Summer College Internship Program where college students train with the Greenwood Project for the first four weeks, then get placed with a firm for six weeks. All students receive summer training in the futures, options and equities markets. They also receive a fully funded brokerage account at the end of each Institute so they can become investors.

How the Greenwood Project partners with firms to create internships:

• Partner firms identify how many interns they will host, whether they would like a college Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior.
• Partner firms provide a job description(s) for the internship position(s).
• Partner firms invest in the mission of Greenwood Project starting at the $25,000 level. 
• Greenwood Project matches job description(s) to interest and possible skills in its talent pool, then makes direct placement matches for the firm. 
• Partner firm interviews and makes an internship offer to student; communicates with Greenwood Project throughout this process.
• Student attends four week training, then works with partner firm for six weeks. Internships can be extended based on students' availability. 
• The partner firm agrees to pay hourly wage during the six week internship (at least $20/hour). 
• Interns may be placed worldwide, either in-person or remotely, and firms agree to pay for all transportation and housing.
