A few years ago, we had the honor of partnering with Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont to support their launch of Bankwork$, a workforce development program designed to prepare individuals for careers in the banking and financial services industry. This eight-week training program is aimed at helping individuals build both hard and soft skills necessary for employment in financial institutions. While the curriculum and national framework existed, Goodwill required on-the-ground support to coordinate recruitment, staffing, stakeholder alignment, and launch logistics in Charlotte. And that's where our team was able to come in and provide support. We're incredibly proud of the work and solutions we were able to help with. In fact, we created a whole case study detailing the challenges we faced and results we were able to achieve. Head to our website to learn more! https://lnkd.in/e2n-K87Z

The Knowledge Stack podcast is about acquiring knowledge, that includes delving into areas that might be blind spots. Had the first of what will likely be more conversations with Ryan McEleney.  He leads a People & Culture team at American Eagle Financial Credit Union that includes Business Intelligence, DEIB, Process Excellence, Talent Growth & Engagement, and Total Rewards & People Ops disciplines. We talked a bit about how DEI programs can be a key to innovation for any organization. Episode coming soon!

🛡️October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and we’re teaming up with the American Bankers Association and banks across Maryland, Virginia and beyond to help you spot red flags, protect your money and stay one step ahead of scammers.  Just remember that #BanksNeverAskThat - your bank will never ask for your account number, password, or PIN via text, email, or phone. If it feels suspicious, it probably is. And don’t forget to #PracticeSafeChecks - keep your checks secure, monitor your accounts, and report fraud immediately. 🔐 Stay smart. Stay safe. Stay scam-free. Learn more at www.banksneveraskthat.com and www.practicesafechecks.com. Don’t forget to tag us in your posts this month so we can amplify your efforts! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #vabankers #mdbankers #midatlanticbankersassociation #bigenergybankers
