Citizens today announced a commitment to provide $10 million over the next two years to support workforce development programs. The funding will support nonprofit organizations working to improve and expand access to education and career opportunities, address the rapidly changing demands of the modern economy, and support long-term economic growth.

“Employee development is a key focus for the bank and one that is top of mind for our customers and critical to the success of the communities we serve,” said Bruce Van Saun, Chairman & CEO of Citizens. “This investment isn’t just about supporting programs, it’s about supporting people – people who are ready to learn, grow and contribute to the economic vitality of our communities.”
