CAREER READINESS PROGRAMS
Our Firm supports a range of programs aimed at expanding access to education, credentials and experiences that 
prepare young people, particularly those from underserved communities, for career success. 
Our Firm made a five-year, $17 million commitment in 2017 to help U.S. cities increase the number of young people with 
access to quality summer work experiences, equipping them with skills and helping put them on a path to greater 
economic mobility. As part of this, in 2021 we provided $3 million to summer youth employment programs in 20 U.S. 
cities to boost access to summer employment opportunities for young people.
We are investing in career readiness efforts outside the U.S. as well. For example, in collaboration with the Sutton 
Trust, in 2021 our Firm launched a more than £4.8 million endowment fund to improve access to employment 
opportunities for underserved, low-income and Black and Minority Ethnic university students in the U.K., starting with 
350 students in the next 10 years. Managed at no cost by J.P. Morgan Private Bank, the endowment will provide 
students with scholarships to help them access enrichment opportunities, such as internships, study abroad programs, 
volunteering experiences and additional courses and training, that contribute to positive employability outcomes. 
Alongside our financial support, a key focus of our employee volunteerism efforts around the world is supporting youth 
to prepare for future careers.

expanding second chance hiring and advancement 
practices within their companies. 
Co-chaired by JPMorgan Chase’s Chairman and CEO, 
Jamie Dimon, and Craig Arnold, Chairman and CEO of 
Eaton, the SCBC promotes the benefits of second 
chance employment and provides employers with a 
set of tools, relationships and expertise to allow 
them to hire and provide career advancement and 
greater economic opportunities to people with 
criminal records. In addition to the co-chairs, five
