At Johnson Financial Group, our internship experience is designed to help you build a strong foundation for your future. You'll be challenged to grow, supported by experienced professionals, and encouraged to contribute in ways that make an impact from day one.

Johnson Financial Group is Wisconsin's largest privately held, family-owned financial services institution, headquartered in Racine with locations across the state. Guided by our values of compassion, consistency, customer focus, and community, we are committed to helping our associates, clients, and communities thrive.

During our 11-week rotational internship, you'll work closely with our Information Technology and Information Security teams to gain a well-rounded, hands-on understanding of the key pillars that drive success in technology and cybersecurity. Through structured rotations, you'll develop the foundational knowledge and practical skills that will prepare you for entry-level opportunities at JFG.

Our goal is to provide you with an immersive learning experience that not only deepens your understanding of financial services but also helps you discover where your interests and strengths align within the world of technology and cybersecurity.

You’ll gain experience in the areas of:

• INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: Assist in monitoring and maintaining servers and networks; support the deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting of hardware and software systems; help maintain system documentation, inventory, and standard operating procedures; collaborate with IT team members to resolve support tickets and ensure system uptime; and perform routine system health checks while reporting anomalies to senior engineers.
• INFORMATION SECURITY: Assist in identifying, analyzing, and responding to security incidents and vulnerabilities; gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as SIEM, vulnerability scanning, and endpoint protection; help review and update security policies, procedures, and compliance documentation; learn how organizations assess and mitigate risks to maintain operational resilience; receive guidance from experienced cybersecurity leaders; participate in learning sessions; and contribute to cross-functional project work between IT and Information Security.

Our program also allows interns to experience the history of JFG and its surrounding communities.

Beyond your day-to-day Information Technology and Information Security experience, you'll have opportunities to connect, give back, and be part of memorable moments throughout the summer, including:

• Connecting with our Executive Team during orientation and continuing to build relationships with leaders throughout the summer.
• Giving back alongside fellow interns and associates through a community volunteer event at the Hunger Task Force.
• Taking part in the Light the Hoan Internship Challenge, a collaborative project that brings interns together and highlights the true power of teamwork.
• Enjoying additional networking, learning, and community-focused experiences designed to make your summer meaningful and fun.

Experience what it's like to work for an organization that helps you build a foundation for your future success.
