Outreach

The Finance Academy provides training and interview preparation for second-year UVA students seeking a future career in finance. The program design spans the entire academic year and includes:

• Fall lectures series taught by McIntire School professors and our corporate sponsor Quad-C
• Three-day Intensive investment banking skills prep workshop
• Trek to New York City during J-term to visit investment banks and other financial institutions
• Private equity training with Quad-C professionals
• Mentoring, guidance, and interview prep with alumni and former graduates of Finance Academy

The Center works to engage finance professionals and policymakers—including McIntire alumni and employers—in scholarship and education efforts. The Center facilitates close working relationships with McIntire alumni and employers in finance to bring professionals into the classroom so students and researchers can get a closer look at practice.

Careers in Finance provides all UVA second-year students an overview of the financial services industry and helps students identify those areas that might be of greatest career interest. Designed not only to open students’ eyes to the wide range of opportunities available to them, the series also introduces them to the different skills, responsibilities, and rewards entailed by various careers in finance.
