Market to business school graduates: Time to re-spool your career path.
You can almost hear the internal monologue in the minds of MBA students everywhere: No more Lehman … Forget about Merrill Lynch … Goldman’s definitely cutting back for next summer … and my uncle at WaMu can’t land me that analyst spot anymore …
And so on. It’s time for credit unions to make a play for these talented students. Here’s how.
Filene has partnered with Net Impact “A network of global leaders who are changing the world through business.” Net Impact members are committed to sustainable business, which makes them a great matchup for credit unions. They have chapters at top MBA programs around the country, and they have promised to help Filene get their members into internships at credit unions.
The next step: getting credit unions to open up the spots. Interested CUs do not pay Filene or Net Impact a dime. Rather, they find a management-level project – the kind of thing they might otherwise reserve for a consultant – and just promise to pay a market wage for a 10-week internship. That’s it; we do all of the vetting and send you qualified candidates to interview.
“People helping peoiple” • “Members as shareholders” • “People, not profit”
These are exactly the kinds of things Net Impact members are looking for. Now’s not just a good time to attract members; it’s a time to attract leaders who want more than the next few years in a halogen-bathed cubicle packaging morally suspect CDOs.

Thank you, Benjamin, for getting this info out.

Thanks for the note, Mark. And great videos at the sites. Credit unions aren’t quite idyllic tuna fishing … but they’re close :)
I just ordered my copy of “More than Money”
