Internships @ Wealthsimple At Wealthsimple, we offer 4 to 8‑month internships that are open to co‑op and non‑co‑op students, and recent graduates. During your internship, you will have the opportunity to contribute to projects that are changing the landscape of financial services for Canadians. You will be on a team that supports your growth, provides mentorship, and connects you to the broader Wealthsimple community.
