Javion S. always had an interest in technology, but it felt out of reach—until he joined Discover. As a call center coach, he began pursuing a degree in cybersecurity and soon applied to the Chatham Tech Hub apprenticeship program, which helps employees with no tech background build real careers in software engineering. Now, J is working with full-stack development, learning six programming languages, and designing applications that impact real users. But what’s made the biggest difference?

Sometimes, the biggest impact starts with a small shift—like bringing a class closer to home. Jenny used to spend $25 on ride share trips to attend a citizenship prep course. But when our Whitehall Customer Care Center partnered with the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the class moved into her neighborhood — making it possible for her to walk. She passed her test and now encourages others who are on the same path. Learn more about the initiative empowering this Ohio community: https://bit.ly/4l7XhB5

For team leader, Shawn Whitfield, the #BudBilliken Parade is more than a tradition. It’s a celebration of heritage, education and empowerment for people in Chicago’s South Side. From marching in the parade as a child to covering it as a youth reporter for the Chicago Defender, Shawn’s journey came full circle this year when she walked the parade route with her Discover colleagues. We believe in investing in the communities where we live and work, and we’re proud to support employees like Shawn and our neighbors in Chatham.
