Professional Development for Breaking Into Sales & Trading Careers
The Sales & Trading Academy (STA) is dedicated to equipping underclassmen with the skills, knowledge, and mentorship necessary to break into the competitive world of sales & trading careers.
We provide members with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, trading strategies, asset classes, and risk management through interactive workshops, brain teasers, trading simulations, and direct mentorship from industry professionals.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the fast-paced world of sales and trading, offering valuable insights and networking opportunities that prepare students for successful careers on the trading floor.
