Our FOCUS program is part of our commitment to give as many people as possible the chance to learn more about what we do.

We invite those who have experienced barriers to accessing advanced STEM educational opportunities [1] to meet our team and learn more about our trading, software engineering, and strategy and product teams.

This multi-day program was created for first-year students currently enrolled in university. It does not require a prior knowledge of finance, only an interest in seeing what a career at Jane Street might look like. Please apply only to the location nearest you.

[1] To participate in this program, you must be a first-year college/university student who has experienced barriers to accessing advanced STEM educational opportunities.

Our definition of such barriers is broad; they could be related to personal circumstances or financial hardship. We acknowledge the breadth of challenges that could lead a high-achieving student to be under-resourced or under-exposed to advanced STEM opportunities. Examples include, but are not limited to: being a first-generation college/university student, identifying with an underrepresented ethnic/racial minority group, having notable need for financial assistance, attending an under-resourced or rural school, coming from a marginalized community, or experiencing personal hardship. This list is not exhaustive, and we encourage any student who is interested and believes they fit the criteria for the program to apply.
