Cookies & Careers in Banking Initiative Holds Session at Northwestern State University of Louisiana
Students from Northwestern State University of Louisiana recently attended a Cookies and Careers in Banking event where they heard from a panel of bankers and a representative from the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions about their career path into banking, shared advice about pursuing a career in banking and what qualities make a great banker. They also spoke about the vast number of career options in the banking industry. The cost of admission for the students was their resume that will be shared with the banks participating in the event.
