Build the Banking Workforce - Host an Intern

Internships are an increasingly important part of college students’ career preparation.

Consider these statistics from the National Association of Colleges and Employers:

• Since 2013, at least 60% of students in each graduating college class completed an internship in college. 
• Over 80% of graduates said internships influenced their career direction. 
• This year, employers expected to increase intern hiring by 22.6%. 

By hosting an intern at your bank, you’re introducing college students to many career possibilities within banking and building the future banking workforce. 

Students enrolled in the Agricultural Banking & Finance Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are required to complete a 10-week internship with a Nebraska bank following their junior year of college. Students in the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Finance and Banking Program also complete an internship as part of their curriculum. In addition, the NBA receives inquiries from other students at other colleges interested in an internship at a Nebraska bank.

If your bank is interested in hosting an intern through the NBA, please complete this form.
