Mizuho’s Summer Analyst program is an eleven-week program that offers the unique experience of working for a global bank that is rapidly expanding its presence in the United States. Over the last decade, Mizuho has built a leading position in Corporate & Investment Banking in the United States. The program is designed to immerse analysts into the daily activities of our various groups, helping Senior Bankers deliver a client solution approach across our entire product suite. We are looking for students with a strong academic record and a keen interest in the financial markets. Approximately 35 students are hired annually across the country, with the goal of hiring each intern as a full-time analyst following their graduation.

​

**PLACEMENT & DURATION**

​

We offer internship programs in New York, San Francisco and Houston.

​

**New York: **Interns are given the opportunity to meet with each industry coverage and product group. They will subsequently be placed into two groups, each rotation lasting approximately four weeks.

​

**San Francisco: **Technology

​

**Houston: **Energy

​

During the eleven-week program, Summer Analysts take on the same responsibilities as Full-Time Analysts, working side-by-side with Senior Bankers on live projects for existing and prospective clients, as well as financing and advisory transactions.

​

**TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT**

​

At the beginning of the internship program, Summer Analysts attend a one-week intensive training program held in New York to build a foundation in the basic skills of financial analysis, accounting and valuation. Development will continue through the summer as analysts work alongside industry coverage professionals on various projects. In addition, analysts will have opportunities to network with peers, mentors and senior bankers through organized events to help them integrate into the culture and atmosphere of Mizuho.

​

Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills through a group capstone project that will be presented to senior bankers in New York at the culmination of the program. Analysts will have project advisors from the Vice President / Director / Managing Director level to provide feedback and help shape their presentations and analyses.
