Outlook, Word and Excel. In addition, applicants should have
a sincere interest in the fields of accounting and finance.
We prefer interested candidates to carry a current GPA of 3.0,

FDIC’s Student
Educational Employment Program offers two components.
- The Student
Career Employment Program (SCEP) provides students with the
opportunity to obtain work experience that is directly
related to their education and career goals, with a possibility
of being converting to a competitive appointment within the
FDIC at the completion of the program. This program requires
a written
working agreement between the student, school and FDIC.
- The Student
Employment Program (STEP) offers internships that do not
need to be related
to a student’s academic or career
pursuits, but do not offer conversion to a competitive appointment.
Both programs
offer a year-round program and appointments may be made at
any time during the year. Proof of enrollment status in an
accredited educational program, achievement, and
suitability related documents may be requested to determine eligibility
for the Student Educational Employment Program. Resumes will
be reviewed to ensure you meet the qualifications described above.
U.S. citizenship is required and all applicants will be subject
to a background investigation.
