Summit to Wall Street is an 8-week summer program coordinated by Career & Life Design staff and is available free of charge to any student interested in a career in finance. It is conducted via the college’s online learning platform with weekly assignments that are done independently by students wherever they are. 

The Summit to Wall Street program is best for rising sophomores and juniors during the summer. Rising juniors will flow right into applications and interviews for post-junior year internships at the end of the summer. Rising sophomores can spend the next year networking with alumni and others in the field in order to better their chances at getting a great internship as a rising junior.

Summit to Wall street is a significant time commitment estimating about 8-10 hours per week. The program combines career development strategies (resume, cover letter building, interview prep etc.) and Wall Street Prep courses. Wall Street Prep is a global investment banking training platform, specializing in financial modeling self-study programs as well as instructor-led and e-learning modeling training. Both entities of Summit to Wall Street prepare students for the demands of investment banking, corporate finance and sales and trading positions.

Critical Areas of Learning Include:

• The structure of banking and other financial institutions and the positions Trinity students might consider pursuing
• Requirements including academic, extra-curricular, and beyond
• How to augment Trinity’s liberal arts curriculum with strategic courses in other areas
• The aggressive recruiting timeline which can include interviews as early as fall of sophomore year

This Program Includes:

• Wall Street Prep Online – weekly assignments to develop technical skills including Excel, Accounting, Analyzing Financial Reports, Financial Statement Modeling, and DCF Modeling
• Financial News: guided reading and reflection writing
• Resume review, edit, and approval
• Interview prep including behavioral and technical questions, study guides, online prep with video recording and playback capabilities
• Mock interviews with alumni working on Wall Street
• Early connection to alumni and parent-sponsored interview opportunities

Open to first-year students, Trinity’s Kelter Career Leadership Program offers undergraduate students with the promise to be extraordinary leaders—on campus, in the community, and beyond—with leadership and personal development opportunities.

Through this exciting program, we hope to inspire students and equip them with the tools that will ultimately help them design their way forward in two main areas:

1. During their time at Trinity and
2. In planning for life after college.

Articles, reading, videos, and case studies will be provided in the meeting before they are due, analyzed, or discussed.

Students will build community as well as develop leadership and design skills, including the following:

• Creative thinking
• Problem solving
• Energy management
• Communication
• Networking

Additionally, in the spring semester of their first year, students will be placed in a 6-week internship with a Hartford-based organization. At the conclusion of the program, students will receive a $1,000 stipend.

The program lead is Joey Abad, Assistant Director of Career & Life Design.

All job postings are subject to approval by our team. The Career & Life Design Center reserves the right to determine which postings are appropriate for inclusion in its job board. 

Please note that we do not accept postings from the following: 

• Third party recruiters 
• Employers posting full-time positions that do not require at least a bachelor’s degree 
• Franchise opportunities 
• Opportunities that are “commission-only” 
• Opportunities that require a financial investment, a fee to apply, or general program fees 
• Businesses that are based out of a private residence or home 
• Employers offering full-time positions listed with a rate of pay lower than minimum wage (internships may be unpaid or compensated with a stipend)
• Employers offering internships that do not provide a learning environment supported by supervision for their interns 
• Employers using a personal email address (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)—employers must always use their business email addresses. 

There are numerous ways employers can connect with Trinity students who are engaging in career exploration or seeking employment opportunities. We invite you to consider hosting an information session or participating in a Career Community event or program. 

• Information sessions are a great way to promote your organization and help students learn more about what you do, the type of candidates you look for, and the variety of employment opportunities available at your company. We would be happy to host you on campus for a 30-60-minute session during the academic year. 
• Interview days are an effective way to meet students where they are, especially when it is difficult for them to leave campus throughout the day due to class commitments. Should you wish to host a full day of interviews at Trinity, we can provide you with access to an interview room for your meetings, help facilitate the application process, and assist in coordinating the interview schedule. 

To get started by requesting an information session and/or interview day, please visit our career development platform, Handshake. If you are not already registered as an employer, please take a few minutes to do so. Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to navigate a few options on the left navigation bar. Click on Interviews → Request Interview Schedule to request an interview day and for information sessions → click on Events → Request Event.
