NBT grooms summer interns for future employment
NORTH NORWICH – NBT Bank hosted a career day for participants in its student employment program Tuesday at the Canasawacta Country Club.
This is the program’s fifth year and the third the bank’s hosted a career day. According to Catherine Scarlett, direct of human resources at NBT, the program is designed to give students experience in the work place knowledge about job opportunities at the company.
“Every year we try and grow ... do different things,” said Scarlett. She explained that although NBT looks for students who seem interested to stay within the company, the goal of the program is to prepare them for the future and teach them how to make career choices.
The students in the summer program range from just graduating high school to students working on their MBA, according to Scarlett. There is no limit on how many summers a student may participate, and a few have even taken part every year since 2006.
“First year students will usually be in teller positions ... to learn the backbone of our company,” said Scarlett. However, she went on to explain that students go on to take jobs in human resources, accounting, marketing and a variety of other positions throughout the company.
This year there were 50 young adults accepted into the program out of 120 applicants. The students come from all parts of New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont and work at their local branches. Scarlett explained that the annual career day is a good chance for the students to meet each other get a better understanding of the company.
This year the day began for the students at 10 a.m. with guest speakers from Bryant and Stratton College, who spoke about the interview process, how to prepare a resume and the importance of presentation. This was followed by a lunch provided by the Country Club and a presentation by NBT CEO Martin Dietrich.
Dietrich also presented scholarships to four students who had stood out during the year. In order to apply for the scholarship, a student had to have spent at least one year prior in the program. According to Dietrich, the four scholarships came as a surprise to the students as years prior have only seen one or two awards. This year’s recipients were Timothy Clark, who was awarded $3,000; Maria Pizzino, who was awarded $2,500; and Nicole Pelosi and Carlie Thompson, who were awarded $1,000 each.
“As our company continues to grow, we need a pipeline of talent to provide the skill and competence we need,” said Dietrich. “This is an investment we’re making in these kids’ futures.”
