Programs
Summer Analyst · Canada
Canadian funds take students in ones and twos and almost never post it. The way in is a pitch: a name you can argue, sent to somebody who reads it. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for Sprott on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
