Get Ahead with Student Mentorships

The PPF Mentorship Program matches each new PPF member with second or third-year members in the program. Through mixers, student-led workshops and one-on-one meetings, students gain valuable insights on how to network effectively, prepare for technical and behavioral interview questions, and enhance their chances of success for internships and full-time placements.

Learn Applicable Skills in Industry-Specific Workshops

The PPF hosts a series of workshops for student members focused on different sub-sectors within finance such as investment banking, management consulting and private equity. These sessions, led by industry professionals and student peers, help PPF members better understand the skill set and experience required for different career paths at top-tier firms and better prepare for interviews and successful job placements.
