PCCUA internship program benefiting both students and Southern Bancorp

An opportunity for students to use business resources and the business setting to foster professional growth and development is available through internships in the Business Division at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA).

A partnership between the PCCUA Division Business & Information Systems and Southern Bancorp has resulted in a win-win for a PCCUA business graduate. Brandon Knowlton, of West Helena, who recently graduated with an A.A.S. degree in Information Systems Technology, was recently hired at Southern Bancorp after serving an internship there while at PCCUA. Now working at the bank, Knowlton is also pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree through the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

Linda Killion, PCCUA Dean of Business & Information Systems, says by partnering with PCCUA, Southern Bancorp is playing an active role in giving college students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in the banking industry.

“A work internship is a great way to integrate students into the daily operations of the business world and can open them to many opportunities for employment. At the same time, it gives the employer a chance to become familiar with our students, their skills, and work ethics and gives them a pool from which they can hire new employees.”
