- Associate Director of Learning & Development at a Global Investment Bank

"It’s night and day the preparedness from this year’s class, and I can’t thank you enough for that. They’re all doing really well, ramping quickly, and constantly say how helpful the sessions you taught were."

- Training Committee Member, Investment Bank that Switched to WSP in 2020

"WSP designed a program to introduce our interns to financial markets. We were thrilled with the outcome! Their ability to focus training on our own initiatives in growing product lines like ESG and alternatives was truly impressive.”

- VP of Learning and Development, Global Investment Manager

"This training checked all the boxes. The simulations, trade pitches and Bloomberg exercises made the entire 2 weeks an incredibly engaging experience for our new hires. They're excited to get started and we're thrilled with where they're at."

- Director of L&D at a Global Investment Bank

"From what I hear from my b-school friends at other banks, our training sessions were the most detailed, personal, and intense (in a good way). I'm confident we're better prepared than incoming associates elsewhere."
