Harper College offices will be closed Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
Banking and Finance is a high growth industry offering many unique occupations ranging from loan processing to compliance and risk security. With the industry becoming much more skill oriented, potential employees are expected to have the training and knowledge necessary to fill these positions. Harper’s Banking / Finance program provides students with these necessary skills to succeed in any specific field of the banking or financial industry.
The Banking and Finance Apprenticeship is a two-year program with 12-week semesters and classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Apprentices work Monday, Wednesday and Friday and have a dedicated mentor at the hiring company.
Apprentices who complete the Banking and Finance Apprenticeship earn an A.A.S. Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Financial Management, a certification from the Department of Labor indicating they are fully qualified for their occupation, and at least two years of experience.
Depending on the employer, job functions may include: opening new personal and business accounts; counseling clients on their financial needs; analyzing applicants financial status; credit, and property evaluations to determine feasibility of processing loans, preparing financial statements, budgets, reports, and projections.
