Acting Comptroller of the Currency Kicks Off High School Scholar Internship Program — 2022-06-27

WASHINGTON—Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael J. Hsu today kicked off the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) fourth annual High School Scholar Internship Program (HSSIP) for students from Washington, D.C., high schools. The OCC partners with the District of Columbia’s Department of Employment Services, through the Mayor Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program, to recruit rising seniors for internships at the agency to increase students’ awareness of federal government agency operations, financial regulation, and the banking industry. This year, the OCC is hosting 35 new and returning high school students from 11 Washington, D.C., high schools. “Banking and bank regulation is about serving communities. The HSSIP is a way for the OCC to support and directly serve the local D.C. community, by providing diverse and inclusive workforce development opportunities for high schoolers,” said Acting Comptroller Hsu.
