Discovering career ambitions
in our internship program
In our 12-week paid internship program, students are
exposed to a wide variety of roles and job functions. This
exploratory journey allows them to discover their areas
of interest and career ambitions. For many students, the
internship program is a steppingstone into our trainee
program. About 80% of interns return to work for us
following graduation.
Jumpstarting careers
with our trainee program
When students join us straight out of college, they enter a
comprehensive training program to jumpstart their careers
and industry expertise. The program includes designated
coaches and interaction with experienced professionals.
Trainees can expect to be involved in farm visits, classroom
training, hands-on experience and more. They also have
the opportunity to collaborate as a team with learning and
projects throughout the program.
Upon completion, we do our best to match the career goals
and desired location of the trainee with the organization's
needs and capacity. We recognize and appreciate the skills
gained in these trainee roles which often leads to addition-
al lateral and vertical mobility within the company.
Northwest Farm Credit is a dynamic organization offering terrific career opportunities. We believe in
fostering the next generation of leaders through unique learning opportunities specifically designed
for college students interested in joining our team.
Bailey Storms joined our Blackfoot, Idaho
branch as an intern interested in appraisal
services. After walking the exploratory
journey and shadowing a variety of roles,
she soon discovered a desire to be a credit
officer. She has since completed the trainee
program and now serves in our Missoula,
Montana branch as a credit officer. She is
also a Northwest FCS recruiting ambassa-
dor at the University of Idaho.
"The trainee program is six months dedicated
to learning, shadowing and practicing," said
Bailey. "Take advantage of the opportunity at
your fingertips – reach out to people, make
connections and ask lots of questions.
Everyone is so supportive and willing to help."
