FDIC: Service that Counts

As one of the most respected forces in America's financial community, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) offers unlimited opportunities for career advancement. Our mission is to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system by insuring deposits, examining and supervising financial institutions, and managing receiverships.

Great Careers Begin with the CEP!

How would you like to use your skills to service your country while enjoying competitive pay and benefits? The Financial Institution Specialist (FIS) position in the Corporate Employee Program (CEP) is a comprehensive, 3-4 year training opportunity, leading to professional designation as a commissioned bank examiner or resolutions/receivership specialist. The entry-level training program includes one year of structured rotational assignments, followed by up to three years of specialized training in one of the FDIC's principal disciplines: (1) Risk Management (to evaluate the financial condition of insured institutions); (2) Compliance/Consumer Protection (to ensure compliance with fair lending, consumer protection, and community reinvestment statutes and regulations); or (3) Resolutions/Receivership Management (to oversee the closure of failed financial institutions and management of the ensuing receiverships).

The FDIC expects to fill at least 125 new FIS positions at locations around the country in 2016. Those positions are open to college and university students and recent graduates with majors in economics, accounting, finance, business administration, and related fields, and an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.95.
