What does IGNITE mean to us and what can you expect? Interns Growing, Networking and Innovating through Transformational Experiences.

We hire college students because we believe in fresh ideas. These are not paper pushing, copy making internships. We provide real work experience to our Interns. During the Program you will interact with, and get exposure to, multiple departments and leaders throughout the Credit Union. You'll experience our awesome team atmosphere by working with other Interns on projects, volunteering in the community, and participating in events and educational sessions.

Our intent is to create a future career path for students who have an interest in the financial services industry. IGNITE is designed to expose you to a variety of opportunities while fostering growth and learning.
