High School Track
The Synchrony Skills Academy has partnered with DAE to deliver our High School program. This after school program offers 10th-12th grade students in Stamford, CT-area high schools the opportunity to learn and explore new skills (e.g. Digital Content Creation, Website Development, 3-D printing, etc.) that will prepare them for college and/or work. Students will receive college admission support and guidance and have a chance to network with fellow students, Synchrony staff, UCONN Engineering Ambassadors, and others.
“The Synchrony Skills Academy High School Program perfectly aligns with our mission to bridge the gap between the world of corporate America and the needs and realities of underserved communities. The opportunity to help reverse a decades-long trend in radical underrepresentation in tech careers is just as important to us as the development of the tech workforce, and we’re delighted to collaborate with Synchrony on this dual mission.”
A.M. Bhatt Co-founder and CEO of DAE
Community College Track
Synchrony hosts a Technology Winternship program for enrolled students from Connecticut Community Colleges (CSCU)- Norwalk and Housatonic Campuses. This exciting program provides students a crash course into careers in technology to explore skill areas that supplement their current schoolwork and helps prepare them for employment. Students will learn more about the consumer financing marketplace through engaging panels and networking events with top leaders at Synchrony.
“The partnership between Synchrony and the State of Connecticut will help us provide the people in our community greater access to the training and development needed to compete for jobs of the future.”
Dr. Kelli-Marie Vallieres Executive Director of the Office of Workforce Strategy and Vice-Chair of the Connecticut Governor s Workforce Council
