Summer internships Interested in an internship as an associate FCA examiner? Excellent! What our interns do FCA examiners examine the banks and associations we regulate to make sure they remain safe and sound and comply with the laws and regulations that apply to them. U.S. mapAs an FCA intern, you would work from one of our five offices. (See the map for locations.) During your internship, you would travel with a team of examiners to a financial institution to participate in a credit examination and at least one compliance examination. Working with other interns as a group and interacting with staff from the institution you’re examining, you would finalize the results of the examination. To find out what it’s like to work as an FCA examiner, meet some of our examiners yourself! What our interns learn
								As an FCA intern, you would learn about FCA and the Farm Credit System, the network of cooperative financial institutions that we regulate.

You would learn about important topics in the banking industry, such as commodity concentrations and other factors that may increase risk to an institution. You would learn about actions the board and management can take to manage those exposures. You would also learn about the five credit factors (character, capital, capacity, collateral, and condition) we use to evaluate the risk to which a loan may expose an institution.

And you would have the opportunity to hone critical business skills like these:
