Spotlight: Meet MasterCard Apprentice Christopher Grant

Christopher Grant, a third-year Product Designer Apprentice at MasterCard and student at Baruch College, is always ready to talk about how starting an apprenticeship at 16 has completely transformed his life. At MasterCard, Christopher has learned valuable industry knowledge, gained professional communication skills, and crystalized his future educational and career plans, all while actively contributing to projects at MasterCard. According to his supervisor, Director of Product Design Jay Eckert, “Christopher has impressed everyone whom he has met and worked with, from executive leadership across Mastercard, to his daily stakeholders and fellow designers.”

Spotlight: Meet a JPMC Apprentice and Supervisor

Samantha Allen started her apprenticeship when she was 16 years old and quickly learned the ins and outs of having an “adult job.” “[I consider it an accomplishment to] be able to provide aid to my team and seeing the results from projects I’ve assisted with…the work I do on my team in-turn helps our broader business and the entire company. And it makes me proud of the positive impact of my work on such a large scale,” Samantha says.

Throughout her apprenticeship, she has been supervised by Constantinos Vyras, who recognized how quickly Samantha could pick up on her tasks. “In her short time with us thus far, she has added value and created a positive impact both on our team and on the wider business. Samantha has proven to be a fast learner, and was able to hit the ground running!”
