However, we heard from students that not every internship is created equal. Current and former interns offered the following insights for consideration: • If the internship is located away from my college or hometown, how do I secure housing? Will the bank help me find and/or pay for housing? • Will I engage in meaningful work during my internship? How does my work contribute to the bank’s growth? • If they are not involved in the selection process, will I have a chance to meet my supervisor in advance? • Will I work in different departments of the bank? • Do you hire interns for full-time roles? • Does your community or region have a process or social network to connect interns working in the region? • Will I receive feedback throughout the internship? Will the bank conduct a formal evaluation of my performance after the internship? What did the bank learn from my work at the organization? Addressing the current workforce challenges in banking will take time, talent and money.
