FCS Financial and ALIANZAS Business Internship Program - (8-Week Internship)

We have partnered again this year with ALIANZAS to help us create an eight-week Business Internship Program for Latino/Latina college students. Below is a little more information about ALIANZAS: 

ALIANZAS, a collaborative initiative of the University of Missouri Extension and the UMKC Institute for Human Development, is uniquely situated to facilitate the success of Latino/a interns participating in FCS Financial's summer internship program. ALIANZAS was established to enhance and support MU Extension's capacity to form alliances and best respond to the needs of Latino residents throughout the state of Missouri by promoting effective intercultural communication.  Effective intercultural communication is also essential to the both the recruitment and support of Latino summer interns.  Significantly, Latino/a communities are highly group-oriented, and the family is of central importance within individual decision-making.  In order to effectively recruit and provide support for Latino/a summer interns, it is critical to gain the trust and confidence of each student's parents and extended family.  ALIANZAS will not only help to build the necessary relationships, but can facilitate effective intercultural communication to ensure that the student has a successful internship experience. 

Working with several mentors, interns learn the components of the agricultural lending business.  Interns will work primarily in our Central Office in Jefferson City, Missouri, but will also spend time out in our retail offices with our Marketplace Staff.  Interns will spend time with all departments within the organization.  The last two weeks of the internship program will be tailored to the intern's major area of interest in the company.
 
Interns will learn the components of the lending process from taking the application all the way to the loan closing, and recording it in the company's books.  Time will be spent with various departments such as: Human Resources, Compliance, Operations, Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Credit, Scorecard Lending, Information Technology, Sales and Support, Appraisal, and Risk Management.
