Let’s build something together
Bank of America is proud to serve the growing marketplace of San Antonio, which is notably home to vibrant Hispanic and U.S. military communities. We provide our neighbors with pathways to in-demand careers through partnerships with workforce development organizations, including a training program for Latinx jobseekers in the financial services industry.
We also work with community development and nonprofit leaders to increase access to funding, healthcare resources and mentorship for small business owners from underserved communities. In addition, we have proudly supported local arts and culture institutions that champion themes of diversity, inclusion, and racial equality within San Antonio and beyond.
How reskilling is transforming lives in San Antonio
Project QUEST, a jobs-focused program that has served San Antonio for nearly three decades, is serving the area’s unemployed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that unemployment in San Antonio/New Braunfels Metro area reached 4.5% in September 2020, up 58% over 2019. To address this, Project QUEST is providing career coaching, academic and skills assessments, college education access and other support to succeed in high-demand sectors like technology, manufacturing and health care.
Racial equality and economic opportunity
At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse 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 minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.
