NBA Connects Bankers, UNK Students

Last week, the NBA joined local bankers to engage University of Nebraska at Kearney College of Business and Technology (CBT) students in discussions about careers in banking during a Meet the Bankers event. The NBA also staffed a booth in the CBT lobby and provided coffee and donuts to students. The event concluded with a pizza lunch. Thank you to the bankers who attended!

This event was part of the Bank On Your Future initiative, a comprehensive campaign aimed at addressing the workforce needs of Nebraska's banking sector and promoting banking as the industry of choice for a broader and more diverse group of young Nebraskans.
