North Augusta, SC – This summer, SRP Federal Credit Union launched an internship program for incoming and current college students that allowed each participant an insight into working in the credit union industry. SRP had fifteen students enrolled in the program, ranging from college freshmen to one recent graduate, who since has accepted a job with SRP.
The interns served in multiple areas, including, Marketing, Information Technology, Human Resources and SRP Branches. Through these opportunities, the interns gained valuable hands-on experience that will better prepare them for future professional opportunities.
SRP Federal Credit Union’s executive team sat down with the inaugural class recently to hear feedback about their time at SRP. Each participant had the chance to share their insights with a particular focus on how to enhance the program for next year’s intern class. At the end of the meeting, the interns were surprised with the announcement that they were each receiving a Microsoft Surface as a ’Thank You Gift’ for their valued contributions to SRP.
“SRP is extremely proud of the college students that participated in our inaugural internship program,” says Eric Jenkins, CEO of SRP Federal Credit Union. “Our hope is they benefitted as much from this opportunity as our members and team members benefitted from the great work they produced. We are very pleased that one of the current program interns became an SRP team member upon graduation and we hope several more will do the same when they complete their college journey. Also, we look forward to working with our next group of interns as the program evolves next year.”
