The Human Resources Management Associate (HRMA) Program is a global leadership development program for MBAs and MA’s designed to create a pipeline of future Human Resources leaders with experience in multiple Human Resources disciplines. The HRMA program is unique due to the various business/region/discipline perspectives it offers. For all rotations including first placements, HRMA’s will have an opportunity to gain experience working closely with senior managers to build leadership capabilities.

The Human Resources Management Summer Associate (HRMSA) Program is a 10-week internship opportunity in Tampa. The Program will provide Summer Associates with on-the-job-training supporting one or all of Citi's Business Groups (Banking, Markets, Services, Wealth, and Functions) within one of the following HR functions:  

• Learning and Culture

Your time here will look something like this...

The HR Summer Associate Program program begins in June with a 1-2 day training program, providing Summer Associates with an overview of Citi, a technology training session, and an introduction to Citi's Human Resources organization. The Summer Program will provide Summer Associates with Senior Mentors and Junior Mentors, networking opportunities and Senior Speaker Events where Citi's senior HR officers host discussions and answer questions about their careers and HR functions. The Summer Associates will receive real-world work and will be expected to add value to their teams during the 10 weeks. In addition to their daily work, the Summer Associates will also have the opportunity to network with other Citi interns, current Program participants and alumni, and other HR professionals. The program concludes with the Summer Associates presenting their accomplishments and lessons learned to the Senior HR Management team. The summer HRMA program is a significant feeder pool for the Full-Time HRMA Program and top performing Summer Associates will be considered for the full time Human Resources Management Associate Program.
