09 March 2023 - 1:55AM
Amerant Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in Florida,
announces today it has partnered with Miami Dade College (MDC) to
support the school's internship program and provide students with
professional experiences and future full-time opportunities,
ensuring that hundreds of local college students grow and gain work
experience to excel in their careers.
To expand upon MDC's Immersive Internship Program and Personal
Banking Apprenticeship program, Amerant Bank will host five interns
and fives apprentices from MDC that meet specific criteria. The
partnership is part of Amerant's IMPACT initiative, which was
recently rebranded to encompass the bank’s efforts related to its
impact on environmental, social and governance matters. One of the
goals of the initiative is to help cultivate students from the
community seeking careers in various industries so that they can
gain real-life and tangible work experiences.
Amerant’s latest internship offerings include:
The Immersive Internship Program - a
partnership with MDC’s School of Engineering, Technology, and
Design program. This one-year program will allow students to obtain
real work experience in data analytics while completing their
senior year. Interns in this program are considered full-time team
members and will have access to the same benefits as full-time
staff. Students in this program will work alongside the bank’s
Chief Digital Officer to implement bank-wide digital solutions.
Upon completion, students will have the opportunity to transfer to
a full-time position at the bank.
The Personal Banking Apprenticeship Program -
will have apprentices working in Amerant’s banking centers
alongside relationship and market managers. Apprentices will gain
the skills needed to become banking specialists. Apprentices who
complete this program will be considered to have ample experience
in their field amongst peers and will have the opportunity to
transfer to a full-time position at the bank.
“Miami Dade College plays a vital role in educating our college
students in South Florida, and through our new partnership, we are
able to help further enrich students’ lives by helping them grow in
their career paths,” said, Jerry Plush, Chairman and CEO of Amerant
Bank. “We will be proud to see many of these students ultimately
become permanent members of our growing team.”
MDC is the most diverse institution in the nation, with 167
nations and 63 languages representing its student body. The
college's eight campuses and outreach centers offer more than 300
distinct degree pathways, including associate and baccalaureate
degrees, career certificates and apprenticeships. MDC’s mission is
to change lives through accessible, high-quality teaching and
learning experiences.
“We are thrilled to partner with Amerant Bank to create new
internship opportunities for our students,” said MDC President
Madeline Pumariega. “Amerant’s programs will help our students gain
essential hands-on experience, while providing the skills they need
to succeed. We look forward to working with Amerant Bank to
continue our mission of training the future workforce.
