Homes & Community Renewal: Diversity Internship Program
Deadline in April, check website for details
New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) consists of all the State's major housing and community renewal agencies, including, The Affordable Housing Corporation, The Division of Housing and Community Renewal, Housing Finance Agency, State of New York Mortgage Agency, Housing Trust Fund Corporation and others.
Recognizing that internships are often the foundation of informed career choices, the Diversity Internship Program (the "Program") was established in 1990. Today, with the co-sponsorship of JP Morgan Chase & Co., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, and Samuel A. Ramirez & Co., Inc., these internships are an established point of entry into the business of public finance.
Each year, up to four interns are selected for the year-long Program which includes two six month terms. The first term is spent working at the New York State Housing Finance Agency on single and multi-family debt issuance, real estate finance, and mortgage insurance issues. For the second six-month term, the interns will work at one of the co-sponsoring private sector firms, where they function as analysts in these and other related areas.
The program is open to students who have, or expect to receive, a baccalaureate degree in May/June 2011. To be eligible, students must be New York State residents who are permanent residents of the United States. Individuals with advanced degrees or who are in advanced degree programs are not eligible. Students who are member of a group that has been historically under-represented in the financial services industry are particular encouraged to apply. Successful candidates must have an interest in finance, be familiar with governmental institutions, and have the willingness to work hard in the furtherance of an exciting and rewarding career. Quantitative ability, as demonstrated in courses such as economics, business administration or mathematics, is important, but is not necessary to have majored in one of these areas. The salary for the one year internship is $40,000 plus medical benefits.
The interns are selected from dozens of applicants. After admission to the Program, each intern is assigned a mentor, enrolled in a finance course, and is given the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of housing finance.
