NEW YORK, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oppenheimer &
Co. Inc. ("Oppenheimer"), a leading investment bank and
full-service investment Firm under Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE:
OPY), today announced the start of its 2017 Summer Internship
Program. Now in its 13th year, the program introduces
the next generation of talent to the financial services industry
and to Oppenheimer. Over the years, the program has become an
integral part of the Firm – one that strengthens its pipeline of
best-in-class talent with individuals who bring new competencies
and fresh perspectives.
Oppenheimer received more than 750 applications from across the
country and selected 60 candidates from 40 universities. Selected
interns will be placed in the Firm's New
York City headquarters and branch offices. The class of 2017
is a diverse group, comprising a significantly increased number of
women compared to previous years, as well as transitioning military
veterans. Interns in the program will receive experiential training
across all Oppenheimer functions, along with the opportunity to
focus on what interests them most.
At the end of the internship program, a select few may earn a
position in Oppenheimer's 2018 Trainee Program. The program enables
trainees to continue growing within the Firm, while working in the
various departments, based on areas of the candidates' specific
interests. Oppenheimer transitioned all of its 2016 trainees into
full-time roles, and anticipates similar success with the class of
2017 that starts in June.
