  • CAPSTONE PROJECT

    At Volition, we believe that you grow through the intentional implementation of your experiences. That’s why our interns are asked to execute on an independent capstone project during their 10-week internship. This project allows  you to apply the skills and knowledge you’ve acquired during your time with us, to a real-world scenario,  to influence how your colleagues and mentors think about a company, industry, or sector, and demonstrate to the team your ability to learn and execute on the role of analyst.

     

    1. You will work with your mentor(s) to define a topic/market that is aligned with your skills and interests, as well as, align nicely with the Volition investing strategy.
    2. Working independently, you will do a deep dive into your topic of choice to identify different companies and opportunities that fit the Volition investing model.
    3. Once identified, you will work with your mentor to conduct outreach and engage with the companies and their founders.
    4. At the end of your time with Volition, you will present your findings to the team. This is a great opportunity to showcase your talents and to demonstrate your ability to contribute to our business. The capstone project is an important part of your internship experience and will help you build your confidence and enhance your skills.

  • Team Building

    Throughout the 10-week program, we invest in a variety of team building initiatives that help our interns build connections, develop trust, and work together more effectively.
