Congratulations to the May BankWork$ Graduates!
In partnership with Employ Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) is proud to bring the nationwide BankWork$ program to Wisconsin. BankWork$ is a free, eight-week training program to prepare participants — primarily individuals from under-resourced communities — for retail banking careers. Upon graduation, each class then takes part in a hiring event featuring BankWork$ employer partners.
In May, a class of eight students, Suzanne Zulli, Jennifer Scott, Mariana Hyde, Jean- Paul Johnson, Dinah Watts, Sandra Janik-Wojahn, Parthasarathy Allappakam, and Doniven Henderson graduated from the program. WBA’s Daryll Lund attended the ceremony and congratulated the graduates on their achievement.

Over the course of the eight-week program, students learned the heard and soft skills necessary for entry-level retail and operations positions. Beginning in 2019, the program has now provided over 150 individuals in the Milwaukee area with the opportunity to begin a career in banking.
