Did you know Charlotte's banking history goes back to 1799 with the discovery of gold in the state?

As the second-largest banking center in the US today, MeckEd knows it is important to expose our scholars to the career opportunities available with banks in our region!

A special thank you to Bank of America and the team of professionals who hosted our Career Pathways participants today. Scholars spent the day hearing from a variety of professionals about careers in finance, creating a personal brand, and the experiences of 4 associates who took a variety of paths to get to where they are now.

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to plan the day and deliver an engaging session for our scholars!
