The Conference of State Bank Supervisors offers a summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. The specific dates of the internship are agreed upon by the intern and the hiring manager. This is a paid internship opportunity. Undergraduate students will receive $22.00/hr. Postgraduate students will receive $27.00/hr.

Interns are assigned to a specific area of CSBS. The work is generally project based with the intern expected to deliver a final product at the end of the internship. All interns will receive exposure to all areas of CSBS.

As a cohort, CSBS interns will have an opportunity to collaborate on a team project.

This cohort group will brainstorm and provide a fresh perspective into how CSBS presents VIBE in our job descriptions and how we promote our values on our career page and external job postings. Additionally, we will ask the interns to create a VIBE decision-making checklist. This tool will help ensure we are living into our VIBE by aligning our decisions to our commitment to culture.

Business Services Internship - Policy Analyst State Examination System

The CSBS Business Services team develops policies and processes to further the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry (NMLS), a technology platform for regulatory agencies to administer financial services license applications, ongoing compliance requirements and supervision. An important part of NMLS is the State Examination System (SES), used by state agencies to supervise companies and to process consumer complaints. The summer intern's responsibilities will include working with CSBS staff and state regulators on the collection of information pertaining to revised Mortgage Exam Standards which are currently in review. The intern participating in this project will have the opportunity to work with CSBS staff and state regulators to achieve a final agreement on the standards and to then implement them in SES.
