As Wall Street transforms, so must our understanding of what a career in finance looks like.

Gone are the days when success in finance was limited to trading floors and investment banking. Today, the future of finance is being shaped by technology, data science, AI, and sustainability.

That’s why we’re thrilled to invite you to our panel at the IECA Annual Conference 2025 in Detroit.

IECA Annual Conference is hosted by the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), the leading professional organization for college admissions and educational consultants. IECA brings together experts dedicated to helping students find the right-fit colleges, programs, and future pathways.

Beyond the Trading Floor: New Emerging Wall Street Jobs

Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2025

Time: 2:00 – 3:00 PM (Eastern)

Where: IECA Conference, Detroit

We’ll explore how modern finance careers are being redefined by innovations in:

• FinTech

• Artificial Intelligence

• Sustainable Finance and ESG Investing

And more importantly — how students can align their academic choices and extracurriculars to stand out in this evolving landscape.

What Happens When Students Build AI Projects With Purpose?

At STEAM in AI, we’ve seen firsthand the power of hands-on, meaningful AI projects:

1. A high school senior built an AI model to detect financial fraud, gaining admission to their top-choice CS program.

2. A middle schooler created an AI-driven community tool to help clean local beaches—and discovered their passion for AI.

3. Another student used AI, ethics, and design thinking to develop a Recyclable Agent for sustainability—an incredible boost for their college applications.

These aren’t just class projects — they’re life-changing experiences that open doors to selective colleges, scholarships, and future-ready careers.
