Synchrony Skills Academy. Putting quality education within reach.

- Brian Doubles
President and CEO of Synchrony
High School Track
Programs offered to juniors, sophomores and seniors in Stamford, CT-area high schools 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, Future5 and others. Entry into our high school track is coordinated through the local area high schools and with school counselors. High School students should speak with school counselors if interested.
“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
Programs offered to Connecticut college-aged students to learn and explore skill areas that supplement their current schoolwork and help prepare them for employment. They may be mentored by students from UCONN and by Synchrony Employees.
“What we've seen firsthand is that removing barriers to digital skills training in local communities not only unlocks life-changing career opportunities for individuals, but also contributes to a more diverse and equitable tech talent ecosystem.”
Liz Simon
COO at General Assembly
Adult Track
Programs offered to individuals in the Connecticut community seeking to reskill or reenter the workforce. The Academy offers reskilling training for in-demand jobs (e.g., Software Engineering, UX Design, etc.) and will also provide interview prep and career placement services support.
“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.”
