NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank,
America's Most Convenient Bank®, today announced that it
is launching a new program to enable individuals to re-enter the
financial services industry following a career break. Working with
iRelaunch, a leader in creating successful career re-launch
programs, TD's Commercial Bank will offer a career program for
return-to-work professionals in the metro New York City area who have been out of the
traditional workforce for two or more years.
This program, which is a first for TD Bank, offers professionals
a successful pathway back into financial services. A study by the
Harvard Business Review shows that up to 43% of women leave
the workforce to raise a family, take care of aging parents or for
personal health reasons, but many eventually seek to return to
work.
"Career relaunch programs present a huge opportunity to tap into
a skilled pool of talented individuals who want to return to the
traditional workforce," said Chris
Giamo, Head of Commercial Bank at TD Bank. "TD Bank strongly
supports the success of all of our employees – and especially women
in the banking sector – and I am thrilled that we are launching
this program as a key part of that effort."
Qualified financial professionals in commercial lending and
credit management selected for the program will participate in a
16-week career transition program that includes refreshing skills,
mentoring, coaching, networking and personal development.
"We are thrilled to work with TD Bank on the launch of their
Career Relaunch return to work program. We have seen firsthand the
effort, commitment and resources invested in this program by TD
Bank," said Carol Fishman Cohen,
Chair and Co-founder of iRelaunch. "Career Relaunch is positioned
to be a first-rate experience for the professionals who are
fortunate enough to be selected to participate, and we look forward
to working directly with them as they transition back to work."
Applications and more information are available at
https://jobs.td.com/en/career-relaunch-program/. Applications are
currently open for the first program, which will kick-off in
January 2020.
