JetStream Federal Credit Union based in Miami Lakes participated in the annual Job Shadowing Day with Miami Dade County Public Schools.
Four students from Barbara Goleman High School’s Academy of Finance were selected to participate in the event. The students were first given an introduction on how a credit union works and operates. They were then taken to various departments including lending, collections, accounting, and the call center, to shadow individual employees.
They also met with Jeanne Kucey to gain a CEO’s perspective of running a credit union.
They were then taken to JetStream’s Miami Lakes branch location to see firsthand how the front line works with the membership. At the end of the day, each student completed a 250 work essay about credit unions.
For the past eight years, JetStream has partnered with the MDCPS program of hiring interns. The essays the students completed will be used to hire JetStream’s next group of summer interns.
