To set you up for success, you’ll be assigned a buddy who will support you before and during your time on the program.

At the end of Launchpad, you will leave with an exclusive insight into life as a Trader or Technologist at IMC. Additionally, top performers will be fast-tracked to final round interviews for the 2024/25 Summer Internship Program in Trading, Software, or Hardware.
