Cornerstone Bank is proud to announce the arrival of its class of 2025 summer interns. This year's group includes nine outstanding high school and college students from across Massachusetts who have joined the bank’s departments to gain real-world experience and explore future careers in banking and finance.
Established four years ago, Cornerstone Bank’s Summer Internship Program offers paid part-time and full-time positions to local students, enabling them to immerse themselves in professional settings aligned with their academic and career interests. Interns are placed in departments, including finance, lending operations, retail banking, community relations, IT, facilities, project management and more. Most participants work 38 to 40 hours a week and may be eligible to receive school credit upon completion of the program.
“Our internship program is designed to offer more than just a summer job. It’s a launchpad for students to build their professional skills, gain confidence and begin shaping their future careers,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “We’re proud to offer meaningful opportunities for local students to contribute, learn and grow in a supportive environment.”
Each intern began their journey with a structured orientation before diving into department-specific responsibilities. The program also features regular check-ins with supervisors, attendance at Cornerstone events and opportunities to participate in community initiatives.
“We want our interns to feel like they’re part of the Cornerstone team from day one,” said Cornerstone’s Chief Culture Officer Maria Salvatore. “That means giving them real work, real mentorship and real opportunities to make an impact, not just inside the bank, but out in the community as well.”
This year’s interns hail from a variety of hometowns and academic institutions, bringing with them a diverse range of interests and ambitions:
