Senior Vice President, Chief People & Culture Officer | Shaping the Future Workplace | Accelerating Growth through Transformation
At Bread Financial, we believe in nurturing talent from within and providing opportunities for growth and development. Our Apprentice Program is a six-month, hands-on developmental program that offers our operations associates experience in roles typically found in our corporate functions. Through this program, we offer participants on the job experience, mentorship and professional development training, with the goal to place these associates in a corporate role at the end of the program. We generally see over 90% of the associates in the program enjoy the experience enough to stay in that role. It’s not just about learning the ropes; it’s about shaping future leaders. Our apprentices always bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a passion for learning that invigorates our entire team, which was evident in my recent roundtable discussion with our current apprentice class. In return, we provide them with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive and succeed. Establishing this program three years ago has truly been one of the highlights of my career. #lifeatbreadfinancial #talentmobility #apprenticeship
