Jonathan Sdao is passionate about developing the traits and

skills he needs to become a successful professional in the

financial industry. He graduated from Colby College in 2016 with

an undergraduate degree in economics. His classes focused on the

analysis of financial markets, and he supplemented his education

with internship programs. In 2014, he completed a private wealth

management internship with Merrill Lynch in Boulder, Colorado.

In 2016, he started an internship with J.G. Capital.

Internship programs can be highly beneficial for students, young

professionals, and companies. An internship can be either paid

or unpaid. College students may apply for unpaid internships in

order to build their skills, experience, and knowledge. An

unpaid internship can be a great way for students to build their

resumes while gaining real world skills in their chosen

profession.

Paid internships may be a good option for recent college

graduates. Internships do not often pay much, but can be a great

way for young professionals to get their foot in the door at a

major company. Young professionals may choose to take on an

internship in order to build a better resume and search for

great job opportunities.

Internships can be a great way for companies to discover young

talent and increase their work force. Interns rarely have very

many responsibilities. However, full time employees may depend

on interns to help them with small tasks. Full time employees

can spend more time focusing on their clients or projects when

there are interns on their team. Jonathan Sdao intends to use

his internship experience to launch a successful career in

finance.
