CONTINUING YOUR TRAINING IN CHICAGO
After completing the Graduate Traineeship, you’ll continue your learning and development in the Chicago office under the guidance of internal experts and Chicago-based IMC veterans.

You'll have the opportunity to network in the Chicago office and learn how different IMC teams collaborate to deliver results.
Whatever your area of focus, you can expect a combination of desk-based training, ongoing guest lectures, and structured learning led by the brightest minds in trading and technology.
During your first 12 months, you'll also have the ongoing support of a dedicated mentor as you build responsibility and product or project ownership. After that, you'll continue to receive ongoing professional development specifically designed to accelerate your career at IMC.
