Summer Intern Engagement Group - Junior

Company Federal Reserve Bank of New York

When you work at the New York Fed, you have the opportunity to make an impact in our communities and across the nation. Our mission-driven, curious, and dedicated colleagues apply their diverse perspectives and unique talents to support the strength of the U.S. economy and stability of the global financial system. At the Bank, we work full-time onsite with our teams.

We believe being physically together allows us to draw on our collective strengths, while recognizing that the ability to work flexibly from time to time remains important to achieving our mission.

Our program provides students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience at a unique institution. Through dynamic, project-based work assignments and professional development activities, students get:

• A cohort-based learning model with a strong sense of community
• Real-world experience that helps them build strong skills and knowledge in their area of interest
• The chance to contribute to meaningful work that makes an impact on the lives of all Americans
• Opportunities to meet, network with, and work alongside our mission-driven, curious colleagues—all of whom are happy to share their experiences and advice
• An experienced professional mentor to support them throughout the program
• Access to learning events with senior leaders from the New York Fed and other notable institutions, giving them direct insight into the public service and financial services world

Interns work in one specific business area or function for ten weeks and have access to opportunities for collaboration with other students and employees from around the Bank. At the end of the program, students leave with strong skills, professional connections, and meaningful experiences that will support them in their long-term careers.

The People & Engagement (P&E) team collaborates with senior leadership and business groups to foster and uphold the Bank’s culture of excellence. We inspire and motivate all colleagues, who come from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. This is achieved through progressive people strategies and modern employee experiences that attract and retain top talent. Additionally, we help everyone pursue continuous growth and meaningful work within the Bank.

The People & Engagement (P&E) program offers summer interns a unique opportunity to participate in specialized projects and receive on-the-job training and experience across one or more P&E functions, including Learning and Development, HR Operations/HR Technology, Employee Relations, Organizational Effectiveness, Talent Acquisition, Compensation/Benefits, Internal Communications, and People Experience.

Contribute to innovative initiatives by performing in-depth research and meticulously organizing information, driving forward our organization’s strategic goals and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
