Who is the Student Program for?

Students and recent graduates aiming for market finance roles — sales & trading, structuring, risk, or quant desks — who want to walk into interviews technically ready and strategically prepared, not just motivated.

Do I need a finance background to join?

No. The bootcamp starts from market foundations and builds up to structured products, so it works whether you're coming from engineering, economics, or a non-finance degree.

How is this different from following free content online?

Free content teaches concepts. This program combines certified technical training with Edge Skills' career coaching — CV review, mock interviews, and 1:1 support — so you're prepared for the actual recruitment process, not just the theory.

How long does the program take?

The bootcamp is self-paced with 12 video modules and weekly live sessions, and most students complete it within a few weeks depending on their availability alongside studies or a job search.

Is there support for job applications, not just technical training?

Yes. Edge Skills' side of the program covers CV and positioning, application strategy, interview coaching, and 1:1 career support throughout your search.

How do I get started?

Book an intro call or apply directly through the program — someone from the team will walk you through the fit and next steps.
