Breaking Barriers: Financial Careers Program

‍

We have a new workforce training pathway available in our community! Over two years of careful planning, our Developing Professionals | Banking Program has officially launched, marking a significant milestone in our mission to create meaningful career pathways.

Class participants engage with guest speaker Abigail U. from Pattillo, Brown, & Hill L.L.P. during an informative session.

Building Tomorrow's Finance Professionals

Twice weekly, industry professionals from leading community banks share their expertise with our inaugural cohort. This pilot program represents more than just training—it's a gateway to transformative career opportunities in the financial realm.

Through strategic partnerships with employers and a commitment to comprehensive professional development, we're witnessing the powerful impact of targeted career training. Our participants, spanning various age groups, bring enthusiasm and determination to each session, eager to embrace new professional horizons.

Expressing gratitude to our valued sponsors: SouthState, Extraco Banks, Cadence Bank, Community Bank & Trust, and TFNB | Your Bank For Life.

If you're interested in joining a cohort or if your bank would like to participate, please contact us at 254-235-3204 or email our coordinator, Heaven Lee, at heaven@centexchamber.com. Be part of something special! Great opportunities await!
