The U.S. Bank Laney College Branch Banking Internship is a paid, in‑person opportunity designed for Laney College and Peralta Community College District students who want real‑world experience in banking while completing their studies. As an intern, you’ll work alongside experienced branch professionals, gain hands‑on exposure to day‑to‑day banking operations, and build foundational skills that prepare you for future careers in financial services.
This internship is more than observation - you’ll actively support customers, learn how a bank branch operates, and develop professional skills like communication, teamwork, and workplace readiness. The program is tied to your coursework at Laney College and is structured to help you understand not just banking, but how to succeed in a professional environment.
Tellers are the faces of our company to many of our customers and non-customers alike. Tellers help customers meet their financial goals by handling routine financial transactions (deposits, withdrawals, advances, loan payments, merchant transactions, etc.) and giving a warm welcome to everyone who comes into the branch. Tellers inform customers of other products and services that meet their needs. At U.S. Bank, you'll get the incentives, support and tools you need to meet your goals and build a meaningful career. We reward top performance and ethical team players. Tellers have flexible schedules that may include weekends (depending on branch location).
