WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥 Before students graduate from the 欧美视频,
one of the most cherished learning opportunities comes through internships that provide
valuable hands-on experience and insight into their prospective careers. While these
opportunities typically last one semester, Central Bank and the UCM Harmon College
of Business and Professional Studies are taking this experience one step further through
a new extended, paid internship that is two semesters long, and begins this fall.
Students who aspire to be in management-related careers are encouraged to consider
applying for this position.
Central Bank has posted on its website the opportunity for this part-time job as a
Retail Banking Operations Intern. While this position is based out of the main bank
facility in Warrensburg, the intern will float to any of four banking centers as needed
to provide service to both internal and external customers. The position includes
performing a variety of banking tasks such as handling deposits and withdrawals, payments,
greeting customers, and maintaining accounts. During this 25-hours-per-week opportunity,
the intern also will engage with customers by exploring their needs and offering helpful
banking services and or products. They will engage in other business units as necessary
by making appropriate referrals of traditional and non-traditional banking products
and services.
鈥淚 am grateful for the partnership with Central Bank that was made possible through
the outreach of Marshall and Steve Abney. This is a unique opportunity for students
from the Harmon College to well establish themselves for a potential career in the
banking industry鈥 said Betsy Kreisel, Ph.D., interim dean of the Harmon College of
Business and Professional Studies. 鈥淭he students have the opportunity to learn banking
from the entry point and be groomed through an intentional two-semester apprenticeship-type
program that will immerse them to a potential career in bank management.鈥
Kreisel said this is a selective program. The student will need to apply and be recommended
by both the Harmon College and Central Bank.
鈥淚t is more important than ever for students to have a specific career goal in mind
as they progress through their college courses,鈥 Kreisel added. 鈥淭his Central Bank
career-boosting internship will give students the Harmon Edge on others because of
the networking, training, mentorship, and professional development they will obtain
through this program. This intensive internship is exactly the type of partnership
Harmon encourages as it aligns with our commitment to providing engaging and applied
educational opportunities.鈥
Kreisel commended the efforts of Kyla Karleskint, human resources manager for Central
Bank, and Derrick Gill, internship coordinator for the Harmon College, for coordinating
all the details to make the internship come to fruition for university students. UCM
is the only higher education institution to have this type of internship opportunity
through Central Bank.
鈥淲e are excited to expand our partnership with UCM. By assisting students with their
professional goals and offering real world experience we hope to set their resumes
apart,鈥 Karleskint said. 鈥淲ith our strong roots and endless networking opportunities
we hope to successfully create a mutually beneficial, career-focused relationship
that will expand throughout the Central Bank footprint.鈥
