Bank of America on Wednesday announced that it will be hiring nearly 4,000 summer interns and full-time recruits from campuses this summer as the nation’s second-largest bank looks to bring new talent into its workforce.
The firm said in a release that the hiring plans are reflective of Bank of America’s deliberate and ongoing approach to recruiting high-performing talent from more than 500 colleges and universities to support the bank’s clients and drive its long-term growth.
“Our approach to hiring is intentional and long term,” said Sheri Bronstein, chief people officer at Bank of America.
“We focus on attracting the best talent with the right skills, potential, and a strong career mindset – and we invest in growing that talent through long-term careers that meet the needs of our clients and drive responsible growth,” Bronstein added.
BANK OF AMERICA’S LEGACY OF BUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM
Bank of America’s announcement noted that the financial services provider remains committed to other previously-announced initiatives aimed at hiring entry-level workers.
The bank’s military veteran program has resulted in over 20,000 hires to date, the bank said. It added that it is also continuing to hire from community colleges around the country and its other early career programs to meet the evolving needs of the firm’s global client base.
