About the role

Vanguard’s College to Corporate Advice Internship Program is an immersive, hands-on experience for high-potential undergrads pursuing CFP certification and a career at Vanguard. In Summer 2027, interns develop expertise in the personal financial planning process, observe Vanguard’s advice offerings, and receive dedicated mentorship from a department manager and program lead. This paid internship has a clear path toward full-time opportunities after completion.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
