Fidelity Internships Guide for High Schoolers

Last updated on 06/17/2026 by Ethan Sawyer

If you are exploring a potential career in finance, Fidelity’s Career Discovery Program may be a great fit, giving you the opportunity to be part of one of the largest financial services providers and asset managers in the world.

A little about the company: Fidelity was founded on the idea that people should be encouraged “to take intelligent risks rather than follow the crowd.” The company aims to help people lead better lives, taking pride in its innovative approach.

What are Fidelity’s career discovery programs?

Fidelity Career Discovery Programs are designed to introduce students to the financial services and technology industries. These programs offer educational events, job shadowing, and mentoring to help students identify their strengths and explore career paths before transitioning into formal internships or entry-level roles.

Fidelity offers some internships specifically for female high school students. These 5-week programs are held in Boston, MA, and Merrimack, NH, and are a chance for female students to learn more about a possible career in financial services.

As an intern, you will gain experience in various sectors of the field, including investment strategies, financial analysis, risk management and portfolio management. Interns work on real-world projects and apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios. If you are interested in gaining exposure to the financial sector, receiving mentorship from experts and gaining career guidance, this program is a potentially great next step in your exploration of the world of finance.

What should students do and learn?

The Boundless program is led by Fidelity’s asset management talent acquisition team. Through a series of creative challenges, networking opportunities and learning about all things finance, from Bitcoin to investments, high school girls can learn new skills and experience the world of finance for themselves. Participants hear from keynote speakers, learn about a range of topics such as managing their money and assets, and join Shark Tank-style projects and challenges.

In addition, the Boundless program for high school students offers two other opportunities.

First, throughout the year, Fidelity holds several career discovery events. These one-day summits aim to open the minds of high school girls, allowing them to discover the vast range of opportunities available in financial services and at Fidelity.

The summit is held in one of several different locations:

• Boston, MA
• Merrimack, NH
• Westlake, Texas
• Durham, NC

Fidelity also offers high school girls the chance to shadow one of their coworkers in the Boston offices and see firsthand what it’s like to work at the company. If you really want to understand what working in finance would be like, what better way to find out than a job shadow?

Where Discovery Leads: Early Career Pipelines

Fidelity uses these discovery programs as a driver for their more structured full-time training tracks for upperclassmen and recent graduates:

10 Week Intern Fidelity Program
Tailored to sophomores and juniors, this program places students in one of eight specialized tracks (such as technology, asset management, human resources, or customer service) and often serves as a direct line to full-time employment offers.

The Jump program
A highly sought-after, paid 12-week development program for recent or upcoming technology graduates. It acts as an excellent entry-level experience in full-time software engineering or data engineering roles.

Paid licensing training program
For entry-level client-facing and financial advisors, Fidelity provides a fully paid, self-paced training program to help new hires learn and pass essential industry exams (such as SIE, Series 7 and Series 63).

Fidelity Apprenticeship Eligibility Requirements

This is a paid internship program that typically lasts five weeks in July and August. There is no cost. Participants receive a certificate after completing their internship.

The Boundless program is open to high school girls. Students from anywhere can apply, but must be able to travel to Boston, MA or Merrimack, NH for the program.
