The Conference of State Bank Supervisors offers a summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. The specific dates of the internship are agreed upon by the intern and the hiring manager. This is a paid internship opportunity. Undergraduate students will receive $22.00/hr. Postgraduate students will receive $27.00/hr.

Interns are assigned to a specific area of CSBS. The work is generally project based with the intern expected to deliver a final product at the end of the internship. All interns will receive exposure to all areas of CSBS.

As a cohort, CSBS interns will have an opportunity to collaborate on a team project.

This cohort group will brainstorm and provide a fresh perspective into how CSBS presents VIBE in our job descriptions and how we promote our values on our career page and external job postings. Additionally, we will ask the interns to create a VIBE decision-making checklist. This tool will help ensure we are living into our VIBE by aligning our decisions to our commitment to culture.
