The Program: We created the Morningstar Summer Internship Program for college students entering their final year as a first step towards successful, long-term careers in any professional field. Participants will contribute to different aspects of Morningstar’s business through ten-week- individual and group projects, learning about the financial services and securities industries, and gaining critical business development skills. Our interns receive hands-on mentoring from their colleagues and the People & Culture team to help them succeed at Morningstar.  All positions are based in our Chicago office, 5 days a week.

Interns are placed across a variety of teams based on their interests and strengths, with final placement determined through the interview process. Previous teams include:  

• Editorial
