U.S. Bank and Elavon partnership with Year Up Atlanta celebrates 10 years

Since 2012, U.S. Bank and Elavon have hosted 144 interns and hired 51 of them to full-time employment.

For some, professional employment opportunities don't come easily. Rising college tuition costs and other life challenges are difficult to navigate.

Thankfully, help is out there. Year Up Greater Atlanta, part of the Year Up national organization, offers a 100% tuition-free job training program. Young adults can find career paths and develop skills regardless of their background, income or zip code.

Elavon and U.S. Bank just reached a 10-year milestone with this community partner, and it's truly a reason to celebrate.

The big picture

The current U.S. job market has more unfilled job openings and fewer candidates. According to Year Up, employers face a growing need for talent while millions are left disconnected from the economic mainstream. These inequities highlight an opportunity divide - a divide the organization is determined and positioned to close.

U.S. Bank and Elavon's partnership with Year Up Greater Atlanta began in August 2012. Since then, the company has hosted 144 interns and hired 51 of them to full time employment. After graduation, interns are offered roles like IT desktop support technician, quality assurance analyst, sales support representative, scrum master and project manager.
