Women's Winternship

Women’s Winternship Program

This January, Virtu will host its annual Women’s Winternship at Virtu’s Headquarters in New York. The Winternship provides students with an inside view of global trading and the impact Virtu has on global financial markets. As a Wintern, you will learn how Virtu trades, explore our technology and trading tools, and work on your own trading project—while being mentored by experts in the industry.

If you work hard as an individual and a collaborator, and you have a constant curiosity to ask “why,” this program is for you.
