Advantages of an IMD Internship
A finance internship in the Investment Management Division (IMD) of TRS of Texas offers an extraordinary opportunity to gain real-world experience and harness new skills while embedded in our fast-paced investments setting.
IMD interns are given the responsibility to produce a written and verbal presentation to their investment team on business need-driven projects from across asset classes. The intern experience closely replicates that of a full-time employee and is designed to make an impact on business objectives.
IMD Internships
The IMD hosts interns in many units across our organization. Consistent components of the IMD internship are:
- Internal networking opportunities with our 250-member investment teams
- Access to the IMD's leadership team
- Interactions with various high-profile external managers and business connections, often global thought leaders in the industry
- Potential for full time hire for interns meeting qualifications and where there is mutual interest
- Participation in Trust-wide educational and development events
Many qualified interns have received full-time job offers and are now highly successful members of our team. Consider spending next summer with the IMD at TRS of Texas!

Testimonial: The Journey from Intern to IMD Employee
“During my two summers at TRS (yes, I asked to return!), I was given a platform to not only learn from some of the brightest individuals in the industry but get to know their stories and build long-lasting relationships with them personally.
It was evident that TRS cared about not only the students’ development professionally but about their personal development as well. Seeing this to be true, I knew that after graduation I wanted to call TRS home!
As an intern, I began to build the aptitude that led me to my first role as an Investment Performance Analyst, which was a stepping stone to my current role in Trade Management. Without a doubt, my internship with TRS changed the trajectory of my life in a positive way.”
