Become a CFE Intern
Interning with the Carlson Funds Enterprise is a non-credit, flexible experience in which students assist the research analysts with specific projects. Students can sign up to join our intern roster through the application link below. After joining the intern roster, we strongly recommend that you proactively reach out to the industry team(s) of your interest to offer help rather than waiting to be contacted with a project. You are considered a CFE intern once you are actively assisting a research analyst and/or industry team. This is a much more independent type of "internship" than students may be familiar with, and personal initiative is needed to become involved and fully take advantage of this learning opportunity.
All Carlson School students are welcome to join the intern roster, whether in a graduate or undergraduate degree program. If you are a student at another college within the University of Minnesota and would like to participate, please contact Olivia Starr at starr182@umn.edu to discuss your interest and goals.

Work closely with our students to help develop their investment management skills, evaluate investment proposals, aid with research questions, provide career advice, and build their network.
Throughout the year we host a "Lunch & Learn" series where professionals share about their own career path, relevant topics in the industry, upcoming openings within their company, and areas of expertise.
We are happy to share opportunities with our students, connect you to our career centers, and help you source the talent that you need.
Now is the time to take the program to a new level by helping us continue our long-term efforts towards recruiting talented students. No matter which fund you contribute to, your donation will go a long way in making this Enterprise even more successful than it already is.
