Taking the Next Step Toward Career Success!

We’re proud to share that Catholic Charities hosted its first job application workshop for Unidos in Finance graduates! Seven graduates attended and worked hard to complete job applications with local banks as they take an exciting next step toward their career goals.

We’re cheering you on and wishing each of you the very best of luck! Your dedication and determination are inspiring. A special thank you to Joseph Joseph, our first 2026 cohort graduate and now a successful U.S. Bank employee, for coming back to support his peers. Joseph shared valuable advice, answered questions, and offered insight into a banker's day-to-day life.

This is what community and success look like – graduates supporting graduates and opening doors to new opportunities.

Good luck to all seven alumni! We can’t wait to see where your hard work takes you.
