2022 - Bank of America Careers Launchpad Diversity & Inclusion Forum – Market Makers

Market Makers - 2022 Bank of America Careers Launchpad Diversity & Inclusion Forum

Forum Overview:

Selected students will experience business-specific seminars, join panel discussions on diversity and inclusion, and participate in small group networking over the span of two days. Each session will be hosted in-person and feature opportunities for two-way communication with members of our team.

This forum is designed to prepare students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in financial services; specifically Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, women, LGBT+, military veterans and people with disabilities, for the fast-paced internship recruiting process. We also define diversity broadly to include any attribute, background, or life experience that may contribute to an atypical or unique business perspective, including economic circumstances, family educational attainment, or geographic origin. Selected students will be considered for 2023 summer programs.

Bank of America is committed to diversity and inclusion in its workforce –all students are welcome to apply.
