Intern Pathway

Join Nelnet as an intern and do real work that matters to our business. All Nelnet interns receive one-on-one mentorship, competitive pay, casual dress, flexible schedule, intern-specific programming, and meaningful work experience.

If you’re looking for an unparalleled experience to make an impact on your future career, we’d love to hear from you. Through our Pathway Program, interns have the opportunity to expand their network, get real world experience within a business field, and build upon your passions – some of which you’ll discover along the way.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

Pathway Interns will work directly as a functioning member of multiple teams within Nelnet. Interns will rotate through a variety of business departments across the enterprise, adding value to projects already in place or creating new ones to own yourself. In addition, they will collaborate with other interns to complete multiple projects based on real business problems Nelnet faces today. Through this program, we have scheduled events, programming, networking, and mentorship opportunities that interns will be expected to participate in.

Nelnet’s connection between Finance and People is a key to our success. Do you have strong business acumen and an aptitude for technology or capturing processes?

Interns in this track will have the opportunity to work with Workday program fundamentals and system administration teams to support our human resources and finance teams. Workday connects our teams with financial data in real time, delivering critical information to support the business in making critical strategic decisions. We're looking for interns with a passion for business but who can do more than push the buttons.

Available departments to rotate through include:

• Workday (Program)

• Workday (Systems Administration)

• HRIS (HR Systems)

• FINS (Financial Reporting)

Projects may include:

• Presenting project updates, findings, and recommendations to stakeholders in clear, professional formats.
