As a bank employee entering the area of trust administration nearly 15 years ago, the Schools of Banking provided a great starting point for education in this area. To this day, trust administration is where I remain in large part to my experiences with Schools of Banking. The curriculum offered, class instructors and Schools of Banking staff are second to none. In addition to classroom knowledge, school participants are offered a great opportunity to network and learn from peers providing additional value.
I would encourage any bank manager or employee searching for bank-related educational opportunities to consider the Schools of Banking. A wide variety of educational opportunities are offered at various locations and times. With the amount of change our industry faces each year, the Schools of Banking provides a convenient, affordable way to maintain an educated staff.
