Summer Internship Program |
| Overview |
| Undergraduates have the opportunity to gain valuable business experience while learning about the Federal Reserve Bank of New York through our paid summer internship program. |
| Program Structure |
| Summer internships are typically available in Bank
Supervision and Regulation, Domestic and International
Research, Financial Services, Information Technology
and Markets. Interns are assigned to one department
for the summer, but have frequent opportunities to
collaborate with other interns and employees around
the Bank. Past assignments have included participating
in bank risk examinations, developing reports and
databases, and conducting economic research with
senior level economists. Interns are given the opportunity
to write, think critically, give formal presentations
and contribute to computer-based projects.
In addition to day-to-day responsibilities, interns attend weekly seminars hosted by the Bank's senior management team, including the President and First Vice President. The seminars provide an overview of the Bank's responsibilities and operations, and offer a unique opportunity to learn about full-time career options upon graduation. |
| Qualifications |
| Applicants are required to complete their junior
year of college by the beginning of the internship--late
May/early June. They must also be authorized to work
in the U.S. on a multi-year basis for other than
practical training purposes. (Authorization under
a student visa to engage in practical training does
not satisfy this requirement.)
The program is competitive and size is limited. Successful applicants have a strong academic record as well as a demonstrated interest in accounting, banking, business, economics, finance, information technology or public policy. Excellent interpersonal, written communication and PC skills are essential. Applicants must be available for interviews at the New York Fed in early spring (usually March/April). Please note that housing is not provided. Applicants should submit their resumes electronically. All applications must be received no later than January 31. |
