Avery joined the Bravera Operations Department in July 2024 and has continued to work part-time while attending Bismarck State College, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in finance. Here's what he had to say about his experience:
What made you interested in an internship with Bravera?
I remember looking into internships around town and finding spotlights from previous interns. They all spoke highly of Bravera and the people they worked with and were extremely happy working here. After reading the responses, I knew I wanted to do an internship with Bravera. I continued to check for open positions until an internship spot opened up, and at no point during my internship did I think I made the wrong choice.
What knowledge have you gained from your internship?
Throughout the months that I've been here, I've learned a lot about the different parts of a bank you normally wouldn’t think about. I've experienced many of the behind-the-scenes tasks that are crucial to Bravera. Being in the Operations Department, I was able to work with and learn about other departments, giving me a good understanding of career paths I might want to take.
What has been the most rewarding part of your internship?
The most rewarding part of my internship was knowing what I do can help Bravera to run the way it does. I never felt like I had insignificant tasks. I was making an impact while still being an intern.
What would you tell a student who is looking for an internship with Bravera?
I would tell them they should absolutely go for it. Everyone is so welcoming and flexible, I was immediately accepted. It's an amazing place to get experience and knowledge that will help you in your career. I never felt like my internship got in the way of school, and any time I needed help, there was always somebody who was willing to assist me. You will gain many new relationships and great options for a career. There's really nothing to lose!
