Our Summer Internship is designed to give you an insight into what life at Scotiabank is really like so, in addition to the individual rotations, interns will take part in a centralised programme of activities including a weekly speaker series with leaders from across the Bank, peer to peer intern presentations, as well as social and networking events.
Interns will also be expected to deliver a final presentation to leaders within Corporate Banking, as well as be given the opportunity to work on a CSR activity alongside one of our chosen charities in either raising money or working on a challenge benefiting that particular charity.
