The Morgan Stanley graduate scheme
Morgan Stanley's training process starts with an intensive 5 week course that introduces graduates to the pressures of the industry.

The programme exposes graduates to a range of industries and clients, allowing them to narrow down their interest area(s) for their future career. Rotations in other business areas are available. After the first year, graduates can begin to specialise in an industry, product or geographic region.
