Overview
As part of Global Career Month, CFA Institute has partnered with AmplifyME to offer a dynamic series of 'Day in the Life' bootcamps. These simulation-based sessions provide an authentic and hands-on experience across key roles in finance. Participants build practical skills, gain insight into the industry, and make more informed career decisions.
Each week of the series focuses on a different career path:
- Portfolio Management
- Global Markets Sales & Trading
- Hedge Fund Trading
- Investment Banking (M&A)
Delivered online in three-hour sessions, each bootcamp immerses you in the realities of the role through guided simulations, real-time feedback, and role-specific challenges. You'll sharpen both technical and professional skills in a practical setting designed to prepare you for success.
To support global access, sessions run twice per week across time zones, with additional offerings added based on demand. On-demand pre-learning modules are available to help you prepare. No prior experience is required, and participants can progress through increasingly advanced experiences to become desk-ready.
