We spent five minutes with Rose-Gaëlle Belinga, graduate student in computer science and software engineering, for our spring/ summer 2010 issue, and followed up with her recently about her 10-week summer internship with financial advising giant Morgan Stanley in New York City. Belinga served as a technology analyst, helping to develop a Blackberry application for the firm’s clients.
When she graduates in May, Belinga will return to the Big Apple to work full time for Morgan Stanley. She was selected as one of only 300 students worldwide to participate in a 15-week training program that includes 11 weeks of class and a four-week project before she steps into her permanent position.
“The people at Morgan Stanley don’t just train you for employment at the firm,” says Belinga. “They want you to be trained so you represent the company well in the future, no matter where you end up. It is a win-win for both sides.”
