Introducing Your Wedbush Summer 2021 Interns
As a people-driven firm, we know the true value of each of our colleagues, and we are hopeful in the ways our interns will help us grow. In turn, we pride ourselves in teaching tangible skills in each field of work and providing access to experienced mentors that will help each intern reach their professional goals. We also hope to pass along our core values of serving our clients, promoting the diversity and growth of our colleagues, and creating an inclusive workplace for all. We believe skills in both areas will serve our interns well in their futures. Our interns join us at a truly unprecedented time, as the entirety of their internships are held virtually. While the virtual setting does present challenges, it also presents us with new ways to connect and get to know one another. It allows the firm to broaden our horizons and reach out to a diverse, well-rounded group of interns who join our team from remote locations across the country. This intern cohort is like no other, therefore, and we are pleased to introduce them to you.
