Salal Academy

Salal Academy is designed to empower you with concrete, transferable skills in banking software and customer service that can open the door to career opportunities in the financial services industry. The program features classroom-based learning, independent activities, in-branch shadowing, and professional development (including practice job interviews). You’ll leave with the skills and training you need to get hired for entry-level banking positions within the financial industry.

One of the goals of Salal Academy is to reach people in communities who have traditionally been under-represented in the banking world, letting them know about the many opportunities available in the world of financial services. TAt Salal Academy, our aim is to make the banking industry more accessible and to cultivate a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve. People from all employment backgrounds are encouraged to apply. In fact, Salal Academy is ideal for individuals who are interested in banking but haven’t worked in the industry before.
