Testimonials

A member of the 2012 Summer Intern Class and current Calamos associate explained, “The Calamos internship program really prepared me for life in the real world. The collegial atmosphere created a great working environment and the project driven workload taught me how to successfully balance a full time
schedule. I would not be where I’m at today without Calamos.”

Professor John Twombly, Undergraduate Program Director at the Illinois Institute of Technology Stuart School of Business, stated, “I first learned of the Calamos Investments Summer Internship Program when one of my IIT-Stuart business students told me that he had interned with Calamos Investments. Subsequently, I visited the Calamos offices and was impressed by the emphasis that the company places on furthering the advancement of its interns and employees. The Summer Internship Program offers an excellent opportunity for students to apply their academic knowledge under the auspices of one of the top financial organizations in the Midwest, if not the nation. Through this internship, our student was able to interact with, and learn from, top investment professionals and enhance both his academic credentials and career prospects.”
