Internships are an investment in your
future! They provide an opportunity to meet
those currently working in the field as well as a
chance to see what's involved in a typical work
day. Through meaningful real-world experiences
and networking, internships provide a strong
career foundation for students and offer a
competitive advantage for future employment.
Internship experiences introduce you to a
potential career, perhaps a potential employer,
and provide an opportunity for students to build
a more substantial résumé.

“My internship confirms my passion for
finance. I like working with people and
helping them better their lives. One of the
most important lessons I learned is that
people bank with people.”
