Capstone's Pathway Program
Capstone’s PATHWAY Program is a 9-week rotational summer internship through our research department. The program begins with orientation and training sessions to introduce you to the firm and your respective business functions. Throughout the program, you will get hands-on experience through a blended learning experience – real-time engagements, classroom, and virtual trainings.
The PATHWAY Program supports an intern’s learning journey by assigning dedicated mentors, organizing lunch and learn sessions with different business teams, intern-specific training sessions, encouraging participation in our policy events, as well as completion of a final project that includes a firm-wide presentation.
This is your opportunity to work on projects that matter to our clients, to bring solutions to life and lead with ideas. The PATHWAY internship is designed not only for you to learn, do great work, and grow, but also to experience our collegial culture where great minds, differentiated ideas, deep-dive research and strategic business decisions intersect to make a difference – each and every day.
Application
Applications open early November and will remain open through the winter. The application portal can be found on our website, LinkedIn, and Handshake. The application process is expected to span 3-4 weeks, starting with an initial HR screening for qualified candidates, followed by a test case, with a one-week timeframe for completion. Successful candidates will then meet with senior members of our team for a final interview round. Due to the significant number of applications received, only candidates who move to the interview stage will be contacted.
Departments
Research
Our Research Department is looking for intellectually curious, accomplished and highly motivated students to join their sector teams.
Sector placements include Energy, Financial Services and Business Services, Telecommunication Media Technology (TMT), Healthcare, National Security, and Special Situations.
A typical day for an intern could look like reading a piece of legislation, analyzing news articles and white papers to understand policy dynamics and likelihood of passage. Then analyzing the industry and identifying stocks impacted by the policy change. The policy insight and financial analysis will be combined into a written report to guide our clients to make well-informed investment decisions.

- Rising seniors or final-year master’s students with strong academic records with strong interest in finance, business, or public policy
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- A self-starter with a strong desire to learn and grow
- Demonstrable passion for policy and or financial markets
