Internship Program
Real Work. Meaningful Connections.
An internship at Compeer Financial is a learning experience like no other. You’ll build connections and life-long relationships while gaining on-the-job, professional experience that prioritizes your individual growth. Our interns enjoy a flexible, collaborative model and are empowered to make meaningful contributions.
Real Work.
You will contribute from day one. We will challenge you to tackle substantial projects that directly support organizational goals. This hands-on involvement will not only enhance your professional skills, but provide a deep understanding of what it means to play a role in team success.

"On my first day, my team leader told me that I’m adult and that everyone would treat me as one. Since then I’ve had multiple conversations with team members and I forget I’m in an intern in those conversations versus a full-time team member. I am not doing a lot of busy work, which is the impression often people get with internships. I actually have my own accounts and feel lucky to have that responsibility as an intern and feel I’m helping towards Compeer’s strategy." Avery, Intern Accounting
Meaningful Connections.
You will create connections from day one. We welcome you to collaborate closely with professionals across multiple departments and specialties. With a territory that spans Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, you can gain insights and mentorship that extend beyond your immediate role. Interactions with fellow team members as well as our clients, will provide you with invaluable relationships now and into the future.
“Throughout my internship I had a lot of opportunities to connect with others throughout the Compeer family. My team leader was very supportive of providing different job shadow experiences and I was able to visit other Compeer offices and departments. I found all of my experiences very valuable in deciding my future and helping me learn more about Compeer and how it fits into my future.” Olivia, Intern Crop Insurance
