Summer interns share their experience at ESL in 2025
This summer, we welcomed more than 26 college students who worked at ESL through our Student Employment Program. Each of them gained an experience as unique as they are by working in one of the following departments: Loan Servicing, Member Service Support, Consumer Lending, Data Management, Accounting, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Marketing.
We asked several of our students to share some of their learnings, and we invite you to learn more about why they came to ESL!
