2027 Wealth Management Summer Internship Program

D.A. Davidson Companies is an independent, employee-owned company with a rich history spanning 90 years. We are dedicated to conducting our business in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and ethics, and delivering outstanding service to our clients and each other. We support a friendly, open and supportive culture, and encourage candid communication and productive engagement that make our companies and each of us better. Just as we work to improve our clients’ financial well-being, we also work to strengthen local communities—and giving back is one of our core values. You can learn more about our company culture and impact in our latest annual report.

At D.A. Davidson, we believe in the strength of advice. Summer Interns work directly with experienced Financial Advisors and other financial professionals, while learning about the financial services industry and our 91-year-old employee-owned firm.

The Wealth Management Summer Internship Program is a paid internship consisting of a minimum of 25 hours per week for 9 weeks, with the opportunity to glean valuable insight and wisdom from many industry veterans. You will be placed in a branch office where, over the course of the summer program, you will observe firsthand what it takes to run a successful, ethical practice serving individual investors’ needs. You will also gain hands-on experience by collaborating on various projects that support our Financial Advisors and their clients.

Additionally, the program includes an immersive, action-packed week in our Seattle corporate office, where as a group you will interact and hear from Executive and Senior Leadership and Department Heads in all areas of the firm. The agenda will feature a variety of activities, including presentations, community service, and team building.

All Interns will have the opportunity to study and sit for the highly coveted FINRA Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. This is an optional, yet unique and valuable licensing opportunity, not generally offered to current college students. D.A. Davidson will sponsor you for test preparation and testing provided it is completed during the 9-week summer program.
