Internships

Internships

Our Internship opportunities are aimed at university students and we offer them in many of our Global offices.

All offer intensive on-the-job training that helps you decide whether finance and Rothschild & Co is right for you.

The two main areas where you could be joining us as an Intern are Global Advisory and Wealth Management.

In Global Advisory, you will be picking up technical skills in accounting, valuation and modelling, as well as getting involved in internal presentations. Or apply for our Wealth Management Internship to work on client portfolios alongside our Client and Investment teams.

Purpose

Internships offer you the chance to learn more about what we do and get a head-start on applying for a full-time position once you finish your studies. They're also a great way for us to start getting to know the talented people who might one day be our senior leaders. And last but not least, you will get to spend your summer making new friends with like-minded people.

Training and development

Training and development

Most of our internship opportunities start with a week of training to give you the basic knowledge you need to get going as soon as you join our teams. During your placement you will also have access to unlimited learning and development (L&D) sessions, as well as on-demand learning materials through our internal portals.
