While the pandemic has affected everyone—in Greater Hartford and across the country—some members of our community have been hit particularly hard. We want to do our part to help. Bank of America has long believed that investing in our communities and partnering with local organizations is the best way to make Greater Hartford fairer, safer and more prosperous. We're not talkers; we’re doers. We’re supporting programs that address the healthcare disparities faced by our Black and Hispanic neighbors. We’ve expanded our existing partnerships with organizations that provide food and shelter, critical services to the homeless and care for survivors of intimate partner violence. We’re working to help keep small businesses open, prepare them to emerge from the crisis stronger than before, and ensure Greater Hartford’s workforce has the skills and opportunities to be successful.
Thinking ahead on job readiness
Dedicated to preparing students for successful careers in manufacturing to meet the state’s demand for skilled workers, Goodwin University has partnered with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technologies and Connecticut State Colleges and Universities to launch the Connecticut Manufacturing Workforce Development Initiative. Supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the initiative will provide 1,600 existing workers with education, training and apprenticeships over the next four years, helping them advance from entry level jobs, forge a better career path, and earn higher incomes.
Supporting economic opportunity
At Bank of America, we have a long-standing commitment to support economic opportunity for people and communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We continue to focus on working collaboratively across sectors to advance opportunities that will create real impact in the lives of individuals and for the communities we serve, using the past to inform our perspective and understanding as we tackle barriers within our communities.
Creating access to jobs
To help create jobs and fuel economic opportunity, we're partnering with local organizations and other companies to help people get the skills they need and build a growing pipeline of talent for jobs of the future.
