We are actively recruiting current college students who are interested in exploring a career in the financial services industry in Montana. Our internship program is designed to provide a realistic job preview and insights to the career opportunities and potential that exists at AgWest, primarily in the areas of credit/lending, crop insurance, and appraisal. Interns are assigned a designated coach, an individual project, and a formal learning guide, exposing them to a variety of positions and areas of our business. AgWest internships are full-time and generally last 10 weeks, from approximately June through early/mid-August. Interns who need to secure temporary housing (due to the location of their internship) will receive an additional housing stipend. We offer a fun atmosphere, many learning opportunities, and have a jeans/appropriate casual company dress code.
