To provide young people the skills they need to develop and thrive in the workplace, Scotiabank offers comprehensive learning through the Talent Incubators for Leaders of Tomorrow (TILT) program. TILT provides high-performing new graduates coach-supported learning and development opportunities through workshops, courses, executive masterclasses, and mentoring sessions in several business lines and corporate functions across the Bank.
One of the TILT programs available is Expedition, an 18-month Women in Leadership Development Program for graduates from a Master's degree program who want to pursue a career in banking. Expedition provides strategic rotations in various business lines, with tailored learning curriculums to support career growth and development. Since launching in 2021, over 1,000 graduates have participated in TILT programs, with more than 200 young people completing the programs last year.
"At Scotiabank, we strive to create a culture where everyone can belong and thrive while feeling welcome and represented in our workplace," said
In addition to investing in the development of new talent at the Bank, Scotiabank is evolving its hiring practices for on-campus recruits. To reduce biases during the hiring process, the Bank has removed the resume requirement from co-op, internship, and new graduate program applications to focus on skills instead of experience. This new approach has led to a more diverse and inclusive recent grad workforce, with an increase in the number of individuals who identify as part of equity deserving groups hired across the organization.
