GRAD follows a two-pronged ‘grow and recruit’ approach to create a talent community of:

It provides participants with tools and resources related to our 3 talent philosophies—education, exposure, and experience—so they can achieve short- and long-term success. 

This 9-month accelerator program is for diverse external talent. It offers a comprehensive, immersive experience shaping cross-functional strategic priorities curated by our Executive Leadership team. Participants will serve as internal consultants helping develop and implement improvement plans for Truist.
