Launch your career in finance with Fitch Group’s Elevate Program, a paid internship based in our Toronto office.

About the Program:

The Fitch Elevate Program is a 9-month paid internship for young people who have completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or an equivalent qualification) within the past 5 years and want to begin their career in a global finance business. It is designed for individuals who are not currently pursuing a university pathway and are interested in a work-based route into financial services.
