Who Should Apply
As employers grow ever more selective in their recruitment processes, and competition for graduates and junior roles continues to mount, those looking to build a career in finance or related sector must strive to set themselves apart from the crowd.

It is easy for Ivy Leaguers, for most MBA students, and for those already in finance industry to break in or return to the industry. But there is a huge audience base - experienced hires from different industries, those that go to non-target schools - that don’t have access to key resources like information sessions, campus recruiters, and the attention of financier at their target firm.

So “Is it still possible to break into financial industry even under such tougher market sentiment, regardless of your school or current job?”

Whether your ambition is to become a leading M&A analyst, head trader, or simply to put strong foundations in place as you consider your options, getting that extra edge can be crucial.

At the centre of the world’s financial marketplace, the EliteExchange Group is able to offer a unique and valuable insight into the workings of the City. Since inception, our FinanceElite Internship has been specifically designed to provide you with an expert introduction to the mechanics that moves the City.

Clearly, we have had a clear target to serve the lack of work experience of overseas students and provide an unparalleled platform for:

 

PRE / UNDERGRADUATE APPLICANT

  • Undergraduates keen to forge links with leading City firms at an early stage in their studies
  • Those with less finance practice and however with superb high mark at school
  • Pre-freshman who just finish their Pre-Bachelor’s / Pre-Master’s Foundation Program or are about to join university study (program with lower level finance knowledge base)
  • Those seriously considering a career in the financial markets while they are not finance-related majors

 

POST-UNDERGRADUATE APPLICANT

  • Higher degree pursuer seeking exposure at top financial firm in global arena amid their master/MBA/Ph.D study
  • Recent graduates in their first job who are looking to move into a more market focused role
  • Post-Bachelor / Post-Master students who are willing to seek finance opportunity in the City
The above awkward situations have more or less dampened these groups' chance of landing a dream job at the major financial centers, while they themselves achieve great potentials.
There was not a single program that brings together professional work experience, essential global netowork with elite Chinese, top Fortune 500 financial firms and explosure with the hottest investment industry (e.g. Private Equity/Venture Capital direct investment).

“EliteExchange really does change you as a person into a more focused, effective and driven person. The pre- and post-EliteExchange difference is quite drastic, as you’re no longer just a student after your exposure to the real world of finance.”

“I would say that the EliteExchange experience has shown me the importance of taking a risk and trying something new. I stuck my neck out by convincing my parents to invest in this program, with the belief that this program would be the best for me professionally and personally. Because this risk has paid off, I have told everyone I know to look at this program and to apply.”

“The EliteExchange programme has a real community spirit and sense of support and family. It is a fantastically comprehensive programme; you couldn’t have a more perfect introduction into the world of finance. It exposes you to opportunities, industry information and a broader education on being a professional than is possible anywhere else.”
