Bank of America to add 1,000 apprentices targeting workers without degrees

Bank of America said on Thursday, September 24, 2026 that it will hire 1,000 additional apprentices over the next two years. The Charlotte, North Carolina bank already brings on more than 800 apprentices each year. The new roles span consumer banking, technology and operations and will target workers without a four-year college degree. The bank will also invest $150 million over five years in workforce development organizations, with funding set to support local groups, universities, community colleges and nonprofits focused on training.
