Katie at our table at Career Day.

Community engagement manager AVP Katie Longsine and district manager Kerri Collins were part of a Career Day at Bay Port High School on May 26, sponsored by the Howard Suamico Business & Professional Association.

“The event was created to showcase career opportunities available to students after graduation right here in our community,” said Katie, who also serves as vice president of the HSBPA. “We had the opportunity to engage with over 100 students to answer questions about banking and careers, and share the student checking account promotion.”

Some of the questions Katie and Kerri got were “What is the difference between a bank and a credit union?” and “What is the difference between a checking and savings account?” as well as “How long have you been with the bank and what have been your career steps along the way?” and “What kind of education or training is available to help advance a career in banking?” Katie also got a chance to connect with the other 35 area businesses taking part.
