Last week, NJBankers held its in-person Future Ready Internship Program networking event at Top Golf. The program spans from June to August and is designed to further enhance banks internal internship programs and motivate interns to become the next generation of leaders at member institutions.
Throughout the summer, participants engage in a specialized education program, and have opportunities to network with their fellow interns and bankers.
The 2025 program was one of our most successful to date, with 80 interns from 10 banks participating. Thank you to First Bank, First Commerce Bank, First Hope Bank, Kearny Bank, Magyar Bank, Manasquan Bank, Northfield Bank, OceanFirst Bank, Peapack Private Bank & Trust, and Valley Bank.
