Summer Student - Investment Grade — Voya Financial

About Creative Spirit

Creative Spirit US is a 501c nonprofit designed to ensure equal employment opportunities for neurodiverse talent, connecting them with fair-wage positions at forward-thinking companies. Since its founding in 2017, we've utilized our coaching, mentoring, training, and job placement services to resolve unemployment. Ensuring neurodiverse employment is even more important now, as 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent (Neuroverse: Powered by Havas, 2025). 

Thus far, we've had an almost 100% retention rate for all the candidates we've placed. But we're more than just a job placement service. We collaborate personally with a wide range of companies and business leaders to help them reevaluate their hiring practices. Our goal is to change the status quo for job seekers who are neurodivergent, placing at least 1 million candidates in fair-wage jobs by 2030 as part of our #HireDifferent agenda.

Voya Financial: Summer Student- Investment Grade (Full-Time) - Atlanta

Together we fight for everyone's opportunity for a better financial future.

We will do this together — with customers, partners and colleagues. We will fight for others, not against: We will stand up for and champion everyone's access to opportunities. The status quo is not good enough … we believe every individual and every community deserves access to financial opportunities. We are determined to support both individuals and communities in reaching a better financial future.  We know that reaching this future depends on our actions today.

Like our Purpose Statement, Voya believes in being bold and committed to action.  We are committed to a work environment where the differences that we are born with — and those we acquire throughout our lives — are understood, valued and intentionally pursued. We believe that our employees own our culture and have a responsibility to foster an environment where we all feel comfortable bringing our whole selves to work. Purposefully bringing our differences together to positively influence our culture, serve our clients and enrich our communities is essential to our vision.
