Sandwich, Mass (September 11th, 2026) – If you know credit unions, you know how often they prioritize community impact, and analytics provider Gemineye is thrilled to be a part of these efforts by partnering with their client $1.6B, Michigan-based Financial Plus Credit Union (FPCU) to deliver an incredible experience for the next generation of technology professionals.
As part of FPCU’s strategic partnership with Kettering University, Kettering Co-op students have the opportunity to gain hands-on, real-world experience while working alongside FPCU’s team. Unlike a traditional internship, Kettering’s Co-op program is an immersive part of the students’ education, combining alternating academic and full-time paid Co-op terms throughout their entire time at the university. FPCU’s Co-op students work alongside professionals, gaining meaningful experience in their fields while contributing to projects that have a real impact on the organization. In the Spring 2026 semester, FPCU and Gemineye collaborated to take that experience to the next level.
Maggie Chopp, Director of Business Development at Gemineye said, “Credit unions are often incredible doors to opportunity for young professionals to grow in a hands-on environment – I know from my own experience starting out in credit unions. FPCU’s ongoing commitment to bringing the best educational opportunities possible to the Kettering University Co-Op students is great example of the educational impact CUs can make. And by partnering with Gemineye, they were able to further develop these valuable STEM experiences.”
While the Co-op experience was designed to help the students grow, the benefits extended to FPCU also, as Gemineye was able to help FPCU improve their reporting infrastructure concurrently. The updated dashboard gave the IT team a more effective tool for understanding and managing its workload.
Meredith Baaki, Director of Innovation & Product Management at FPCU explained, “Great dashboards don’t answer every question. They answer the right questions. Because Gemineye took the time to clearly define our goals and the decisions we needed to support, we were able to transform raw ticket data into meaningful insights. The dashboard gives us a clear view of team capacity, workload, and demand, creating alignment across the organization and helping us make better decisions about where to focus next.”
As a credit union and community bank-specific analytics provider, Gemineye enthusiastically supports the credit union mission of people helping people. This partnership with FPCU and the Kettering University students was a natural fit for both teams to shine.
“Credit union leaders often have similar origin stories as students, interns or entry level positions – so I think it’s easy for our audience to appreciate the emphasis we put on education” explains Gemineye’s Maggie Chopp. “We honored to be a part of the ‘people helping people’ philosophy.”
