Relaunch your career with TD Bank
Career Relaunch Program
Life happens and sometimes your career needs to take a backseat – but what about when you’re ready to return to work? TD Bank believes return-to-work professionals should be able to excel in the workplace just like their peers who did not take career breaks, and TD will offer support to get you started. TD is working with iRelaunch, the pioneering career reentry company, to offer a 6-month career transition program for financial professionals who are relaunching their careers. The program includes skill refreshers, mentoring, coaching, networking and a personalized development plan.
Successful applicants will have:
- A career break of 1 or more years and are ready to restart their career
- Relevant experience in credit analysis, project management, financial analysis, operational effectiveness, risk management, strategy & planning, data analysis, business management, product management or portfolio management.
- Interest and availability to take a full-time position with TD Bank following the 6-month program
- The next program will begin in March 2024. Applications will be accepted starting October 2023.
Lisa Ainsworth, Credit Portfolio Manager and Career Relaunch Associate, says: “I originally worked in trading on Wall Street and had to make a decision at one point whether I was going to stay as a career person or devote some time to family. I decided to devote time to my family and it was not a bad decision.”
Shweta Sharma, Business Management Specialist and Career Relaunch Associate, says: “I took a break from my career to care for my kids. After spending four good years with them, they were ready to go back to school full time, and I was ready to come back to the workforce.”
Lisa says: “Started to interview and look for some jobs, and I met a lot of roadblocks along the way.”
Shweta says: “The career gap becomes a detriment for mainstream recruitment.”
Lisa says: “I was either overqualified or they were concerned with my large career break.”
Shweta says: “TD’s Relaunch Program, as the name suggests, is a program designed to relaunch the professionals who took a break from their careers.”
Lisa says: “And what it is it’s a supportive program that says we’re going to help you. We’re going to help you get started again. We’re not going to expect you to hit the ground running.”
Shweta says: “There is tremendous support in the form of mentors, peers, relaunch managers, HR, the cohort, the iRelaunch managers. So there is support from every direction.”
Lisa says: “TD Bank has gone the extra yard to make sure I feel comfortable in my new position. I think it’s hard to change your perception of who you are. u know, for so long you were a mom or you were doing something different and now you’re going to the workplace and you’re a professional again. And this program helps you see yourself as that professional.”
Shweta says: “Never hold back because you had a break from your career. And this is a platform that totally helps you come back with a bang.”
