About Our Internship Program

Nasdaq’s Internship Program is a 10-week summer experience designed to give students real exposure to how global markets and technology come together. Our interns work on meaningful projects alongside Nasdaq teams, gaining hands-on skills that make an impact on the business.

We believe the best way to learn is by doing; that’s why you’ll be paired with a mentor, connected with senior leaders, and included in professional development sessions. You’ll also join a diverse global intern community, sharing experiences and building networks that last beyond the program.

Our goal is to provide a supportive, engaging, and fun environment where your work feels valued and your growth comes first. Check out our Nasdaq Internship Program page to learn more and hear directly from past interns about their journeys.
