3 Reasons Why 3 Months at MCU Are Worth It
An internship at MCU will add to the diversity of your experience.
Engage Your Social Impact.
Get the opportunity to support diversity initiatives that have an impact at a local level. You’ll work with a diverse workforce in an agile environment to develop a wide range of products and services that support our members and their communities.
Get a Unique Business Experience.
The “customers” of a credit union are actually members, all of whom are owners of the credit union. Everything—from what digital banking features we support to what rates we provide—depends on what best serves members. It’s a business model you may not learn in school.
Be a Part of History.
From MCU’s early beginnings in a single room where funds were managed on handwritten ledgers, MCU has successfully navigated economic recessions, cultural shifts, and technological innovations. See how a century-old institution stays relevant and prosperous.
