In this episode, FIA President and CEO Walt Lukken talks with
Greenwood Project founders Elois and Bevon Joseph, two impressive
individuals who both worked on the floors of exchanges and now
dedicate their lives to helping black and Latinx students get
trained and placed for internships at financial companies in
Chicago, New York, London, and beyond. To date, their organization
has placed 470 interns in 36 companies. Some of these interns go on
to full time jobs in financial services companies. These
internships are a wonderful way to introduce students to our
markets and to develop a pipeline of talent for our industry. This
effort is special to FIA. At our annual Boca conference this year,
Walt announced a new partnership to facilitate summer internships
with our member companies.
