BALTIMORE — For some college students, choosing a career in the credit union industry might be low on the totem pole but former interns that came through the African-American Credit Union Coalition's internship program say they have discovered an untapped area for professional development.
Since inception, 188 college students have participated in the AACUC's program and 22 have begun careers in the credit union industry, according to the coalition. This summer, 36 students worked at 19 credit unions across the country, at Fannie Mae and PFP Services, an insurance provider to members.
"Each year, the internship program continues to grow and develop," said Bert Hash, chairman on the AACUC internship committee and president/CEO of Municipal Employees Credit Union of Baltimore. "This growth and development has resulted in more interns finding jobs with credit unions, more credit unions willing to hire students as interns and Fannie Mae continuing its participation with the program for a second year."
