This week, we switch it up and talk all about the importance of an internship program.  We speak with Lisa Blatter, Director of Campus Recruiting and Career Development for SouthState.  She shares her thoughts on why your bank (big or small) should consider starting an internship program to develop a talent pipeline and grow your bank's various business units.  Then, we sit down with two of her summer interns, Shaina Patel and Corey Stepanek, to hear about their experience with this program this summer.  The views, information, or opinions expressed during this show are solely those of the participants involved and do not necessarily represent those of SouthState Bank and its employees.  SouthState Bank, N.A. - Member FDIC
