The goal of the Burke & Herbert Bank Banking Apprentice Program is to identify and prepare a pipeline of aspiring next-generation banking leaders to fill essential roles throughout the Bank.

Through a series of structured Department Rotations, participants will gain a global perspective of the Bank, focusing on Customer Service, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Commercial Lending, Credit, Wealth Services, and Bank Operations. In addition to the Department Rotations, participants must complete a professional skills development training curriculum, including select personality and leadership assessments.
