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 registered apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that can be completed as either a Certificate or an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree pathway. The Certificate is stackable, allowing apprentices to continue their education and earn an associate degree. Courses are offered in a hybrid or fully online format to accommodate working professionals.
Throughout the program, apprentices receive structured on-the-job training and are paired with a dedicated workplace mentor who provides guidance and support.
Upon completion, apprentices will have earned:
A Certificate or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Supply Chain Management
A nationally recognized Certificate of Completion from the U.S. Department of Labor
At least two years of paid, hands-on work experience in the field
This earn-and-learn model prepares apprentices for long-term career success while helping employers develop a highly skilled workforce.
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.
