Continuous Support

Your peer buddy will connect with you prior to your start date to get to know you and address any questions or concerns. They'll be your go-to resource for questions, advice and encouragement throughout your internship to ensure you have a high-quality, personalized experience. We foster a sense of community among our interns and staff because we want every intern to feel part of the NFA team and build lasting connections.

“My favorite part of the NFA internship was being able to apply the skills that I learned in school to real life work experience and gaining knowledge that could only be learned on the job. The internship gives you a glimpse into the job role and responsibilities, while providing a deep understanding of NFA's pivotal regulatory role in the derivatives market. I also enjoyed traveling for exams!“
