2026 Charles Schwab Investor Services Internship - Trading and Retail

Your opportunity

At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together.

Throughout the 9-week paid Schwab Trading Services internship, there will be inspiring opportunities to dive into brokerage, markets and Schwab’s trading experience. The interactive program focuses on a variety of opportunities which feature a business track project, an intern cohort project, learning activities, volunteering in the community, a dedicated intern leader, networking, and exploring your unique personal strengths! In this role, you will learn advance financial literacy and receive training materials to prepare you for (and potentially take) the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam. Our Trading Services interns will also learn about our trading products, platforms, education, and client service. The rest of the time, you’ll be assisting our Product and Platform teams with research, analysis, presentation materials, and other projects. If you are passionate about gaining insight into Schwab’s Trading Solutions this is the role for you.

Come “challenge the status quo” for the Summer of 2026 and learn what is means to be the next generation of Schwab change makers!
