WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Bankers Association is pleased to announce a new partnership with Wells Fargo for the 2025 National Bankers Association Internship Program. This collaboration is an initiative aimed at providing hands-on experience and professional development opportunities for aspiring individuals passionate about mission-driven community banks.

The program is a testament to Wells Fargo's ongoing commitment to supporting mission-driven financial institutions. Through this partnership, the National Bankers Association and Wells Fargo are working together to help develop the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of community banking.

“The Internship Program is an important part of our efforts to build a strong talent pipeline,” shared Nicole Elam, CEO of the National Bankers Association. “According to our recent MDI Leaders survey, talent development is a key area of focus, with nearly 70% of bank leaders highlighting it as essential to their future success. By providing these internship opportunities, we aim to create pathways for young professionals interested in the work of mission-driven banks, particularly in areas such as research, policy, and community impact.”

This program will not only provide participants with valuable experience but also help ensure the future of banking reflects the needs of underserved communities.

The candidate selected is Anton McDonald, a junior at Howard University where he is studying for a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with a minor in mathematics. He has a strong background in data science and is excited to explore how digitalization can transform the sector and deepen its social impact.

The internship will provide participants with direct exposure to the work of the National Bankers Association research and impact team, where they will assist with key initiatives that focus on policy analysis, economic research, and strategies to support mission-driven community banks

“As the Bank of Doing, Wells Fargo is thrilled to work with the National Bankers Association to provide this fellowship opportunity for the next generation of banking leaders,” said Erica Miles, Executive Director at Wells Fargo and chair of the National Bankers Association’s Strategic Advisory Council. “In addition to our $50 million investment in 13 member banks, this fellowship is an extension of Wells Fargo’s partnership with the National Bankers Association and another way for us to positively impact the communities we serve.”
