Training

The Investment Banking Division (IBD) has a strong commitment to the education and professional development of all of its employees. The training offered is a mix of formal training opportunities from Goldman Sachs University (GSU) and intensive and rich on-the-job training from your group and team members. As a new analyst, you will begin your IBD experience as a participant in the IBD New Banker Training program. The IBD New Banker Training program aims to provide a strong foundation of financial theory balanced with practical application, allowing you to build competence and confidence. The comprehensive six-week training program covers the fundamentals of accounting and financial statement analysis and goes in-depth into modeling and corporate valuation. At the conclusion of the program, you will participate in an M&A case study that will culminate in you presenting your work to a senior banker. In addition to the technical content, during the six weeks you will also learn about the different parts of IBD including its leaders, history, strategy, culture and products. Building relationships and networking with your global IBD analyst class is also a key objective of this comprehensive training program. Lastly, most analysts participate in several days of group/product specific training once they hit the desk.

After the formal New Banker Training program ends, GSU offers a wide-ranging continuing education curriculum that refreshes and expands the skills you acquired during New Banker Training. These courses also supplement your on-the-job learning. Offered both live and online, these courses review and enhance technical skills, broaden your understanding of financial products and markets and help you build your professional and communication skills. The IBD e-Learning Center contains over 120 e-learning modules that provide a flexible way for you to refine your skills based on your pace and schedule.
