Building a stronger community in Tucson begins with breaking down barriers that prevent economic mobility for people, especially those in communities of color. Workforce development and building job skills is a foundational need, and Bank of America is taking action to make a difference here. We’re working with our local college and university partners along with other organizations to help reskill and retrain for today’s in-demand jobs and careers. Along with our retail bank presence, our digital banking services are providing the convenience and easy-access needs of our customers and business clients. Through the challenging times we face, we remain committed to building our community.
When fewer than 16% of its majority-minority enrollment was able to complete a degree or certificate within six years, Tucson’s Pima Community College launched PimaFastTrack. This jobs initiative focuses on students of color —a population disproportionately affected by the pandemic-led economic downturn. Aimed at giving students access to careers that pay a family-sustaining wage, PimaFastTrack partners with local employers to identify in-demand jobs. The initiative arranges training and apprenticeships in fields including advanced industrial technology, automotive technology, building and construction technology, cyber security/IT and certification as an emergency medical technician.
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.
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
