Studying for your first university degree? Our Banking Connections insight program offers a shorter, broader view of our businesses. Rather than being placed in a specific team, you’ll enjoy a tailored program that will help you develop new skills and learn enough about our different opportunities to apply for an internship.

Summer internships typically last 10-12 weeks and attract students in their penultimate year of university who want to start working full-time the following year. They’re our primary source of hiring for our full-time graduate programs and a great way to get a taste of what it’ll be like – as well as hone your skills through structured performance evaluations, training, development and social opportunities.

Full-time Analyst programs are designed for candidates who are ready to start work upon university graduation. The program format varies by business but all offer formal, ongoing training and development opportunities, structured performance evaluations, mentoring support and networking opportunities to supplement your on-the-job learning.

The diversity of our employees — race, national origin, religion, age, gender, gender identification and expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disabilities, and veteran status — makes us stronger and is essential to our ability to serve our clients, fulfill our purpose and drive responsible growth. We’re honored to be recognized by various organizations around the world for our employment practices, for example: Best places to work for LGBTQ+ by Equality Human Rights Campaign Foundation (2022) and Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (2022).

Creating an inclusive environment starts at the top and extends to all teammates. Our Board, its committees and our CEO play a key role in the oversight of our culture, holding management accountable for ethical and professional conduct and a commitment to being a great place to work. All managers in the bank are held accountable for driving progress in diversity within their teams. We also provide opportunities for managers to sponsor and support rising talent to continue building our diverse workforce.

At Bank of America, we have 11 Employee Networks globally, comprised of over 325 chapters and more than 180,000 memberships worldwide. These Employee Networks help teammates develop leadership skills, build ties with local communities and advance diversity recruitment.

Bank of America's LGBTQ+ Pride is a company-supported Employee Network representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) employees and their allies. Our members are dedicated to promoting a safe, equitable, and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ employees and to fostering a workplace that recruits, develops, and retains top LGBTQ+ talent. We work to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, and we are a resource to our members, allies, and managers at all levels.

As a firm, we believe that each individual brings a unique identity and contribution to its mission and should be encouraged, respected and rewarded for doing so. We’ve set the standard for supporting LGBTQ+ people both inside and outside the organization.

Globally, we were the first financial institution to incorporate sexual orientation into its non-discrimination policies. In 2006, our non-discrimination policies were expanded to include gender identity. We were also the first financial services company to offer comprehensive domestic partner benefits, including family assistance leave, dependent health coverage, adoption assistance, mental health counseling and survivor pension benefits.

The LGBTQ+ Australia chapter hosted a panel discussion titled “LGBT Journey Out” where colleagues shared experiences about their own journey or how they supported their children with theirs.

Bank of America’s Disability Advocacy Network (DAN) was established to foster a work environment that accepts, values, respects and supports those affected by disabilities. The group is a source of support and information for employees and their children, friends and colleagues with disabilities as well as for others who are interested in this subject.

The DAN sponsors programs and events that encourage partnerships, celebrate and embrace differences, promote creativity and develop opportunities for awareness and education. We continually develop better ways to engage with people from all backgrounds, working together with each person to be the best that they can be. Membership is open to all — whether personally impacted by a disability or not.

The DAN Australia chapter hosted an event in the office to raise awareness of people living with disabilities.

LEAD (Leadership, Education, Advocacy and Development) for Women is a network dedicated to promoting professional women's development to help grow, attract and retain successful women throughout Bank of America. We provide leadership, development and career broadening opportunities and tools through a variety of means including information and education, advocacy, and networking.

LEAD for Women has been fostering professional growth for bank employees since the late 1990s.
