CareerSource South Florida Invests in Youth and the Future Bankers Training Camp Program

During its February 16, 2023 Board Meeting, CareerSource South Florida announced its support of the Future Bankers Training Camp program with an investment of $125,000 to serve up to 50 youth participants. In the Financial Services Industry where previous related experience is often preferred, the Future Bankers Camp provides hands-on experience and training. With today’s recruiters looking for candidates with strong critical thinking, communications and customer service skills, training in the financial services field will prepare you to do much more than balance currency. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job titles in this sector of the Finance industry include Account Representative, Bank Teller, Branch Operations Specialist, Customer Relationship Specialist, Customer Service Associate (CSA), Financial Services Representative (FSR), Member Services Representative and Personal Banking Representative. The Future Bankers Camp is designed to motivate and tap into the talent of minority students in low income areas and provide them with a promising career path in the financial services industry. Upon completing the program, students are eligible to receive the American Bankers Association (ABA) and America Institute of Banking (AIB) Bank Tellers Certificates. Students that graduate high school are eligible for a Miami-Dade College (MDC) Vocational Certificate, which allows them to work towards an Associate of Science degree in Financial Services. Students may also participate in industry based internships with partnering financial institutions. The Future Bankers Camp is partnering with the Cuban American National Council (CNC) Youth Program and Miami Dade College to facilitate the program. Set to begin during the Summer of 2023, the Future Bankers Training Camp is supported by more than 38 local banks and provides students with the opportunity to enhance their math, communication and financial literacy skills by completing an internship with a financial institution and receiving an industry certification.
