On May 21, Border States welcomed 15 summer interns to our Branch Support Center in Fargo, ND.
The fun and engaging Branch Support Center Internship Program has been proven to help interns develop professional skills with real-world experience in teamwork, time management and interpersonal communication.
Each intern will spend 75-80 percent of their time during the three-month summer experience working within a specific department. The Border States interns will also participate in multiple community service events, as well as a company project and presentation.
The Border States internship program is designed to engage future talent, as well as help interns build professional networking contacts and mentor relationships.
