🧠How to Secure 2026 Spring Weeks, Internships & Grad-Schemes
All you have to do is start preparing now — Before application season opens...
Hey 👋!
Let’s get straight to it:
The students who land Spring Weeks, Internships, and Grad-Schemes in finance?
They don’t wait until applications open.
They start now — WAY before anyone else even thinks about applying.
Here’s the brutal truth:
Once roles go live in July/August/September, the clock’s already ticking.
And by then, if your CV, cover letter, and networking game aren’t already sharp, you're just playing catch-up.
So if you're aiming for offers in 2026, here’s exactly what you need to do between now and then:
🔑 Step 1: Get Clear on the Process
Do you know when the earliest applications open?
Which firms recruit on a rolling basis?
What order to tackle CVs, cover letters, psychometrics, and interviews in?
This is the stuff that trips up even the smartest candidates — not because they aren’t capable, but because they didn’t plan properly.
🎯 Step 2: Tailor Your Story
Every successful applicant has a narrative that makes sense.
You don’t need a perfect background. You just need a coherent one:
Why finance?
Why [IB / AM / S&T / Consulting]?
What was the pivotal moment that opened your eyes?
Why you?
📈 Step 3: Build a Weekly Momentum System
If you treat this like a crammed school project, you'll burn out.
Treat it like a fitness plan instead — small consistent steps:
1 firm researched per week
1 coffee chat per week
1 CV tweak or interview practice per week
That’s what creates compounding results.
Inside Finance Fast Track, we’ve built this exact system for you — from 0 to offer.
It includes:

Here’s what I’ll leave you with:
