Acccounting Internship Program - Summer 2019
CNA Accounting Internship Program
The Accounting Internship program is a ten-week program designed to prepare highly talented Accounting students for a career in corporate accounting. The program offers hands-on training in a variety of accounting disciplines. Students successfully completing an internship may be considered for our Accounting Rotational Business Associate (ARBA) program which has been an integral part of CNA for over 30 years. Graduates of the ARBA program hold a variety of positions throughout the organization, including numerous senior leadership roles.
