Job Opportunities: Career Paths and Development

Who is Nelnet?

We were founded with one goal: serve others by making educational dreams possible. We’ve become the nation’s largest and most respected student loan servicer – but we’re so much more than that. Over the years, we diversified. We’ve launched businesses, acquired brands, and entered new industries around the world. Today, we’re 20+ businesses across four divisions, all united by one purpose: serving others.

Nelnet is people-driven.

For over 40 years, we’ve been serving our communities and making our customers’ dreams possible. That purpose to serve is what drives our associates in everything they do – and it’s why we continually deliver exceptional customer experiences.
Nelnet is innovative.

We started serving in higher education, but our commitment to service wouldn’t let us stop there. It led us into new industries like renewable energy. With our customers’ best interests at heart – and with an eye toward evolving opportunities – we create new solutions that anticipate their needs.
Nelnet is values-oriented.

Nelnet’s associates hail from all backgrounds and locations, but we share core values that move us forward together. We believe in these values, and live them through our actions.

Providing superior customer experiences.
Creating an awesome work environment.
Pursuing opportunities for diversification and growth.
Communicating openly and honestly.
Giving back to the communities in which we live and work.

Internships at Nelnet

We offer real-world experience, real work, and real pay – so forget those other unpaid internships you were considering.

Our traditional internships provide in-depth experience in areas like finance, recruiting, innovation and marketing, and our Pathway Program allows students who are still undecided to explore four different departments in one academic year. And for those with a “particular set of skills” (ahem, Liam Neeson), we offer IT internships that explore distinct areas of interest and legal internships for those who have passed the LSAT.

At Nelnet, we believe in creating an awesome work environment. We know that ‘awesome’ means different things to different people. For me, it means hiring incredible, talented, and motivated people, providing excellent pay and benefits, creating relaxed, beautiful workspaces, and offering maximum flexibility, enabling associates to work when and where they please. It also means striving to have fun and live a life of purpose every day.
