Supporting your career development is a key part of what drives First Horizon’s success.

 

Through our First Horizon Professional Development Academy, we offer multiple development programs. In 2022, selected associates participated in:

  • Ascend – Credit Analyst Development Program
  • Ascend – Banking Center Manager Development Program
  • Accelerate – Commercial Lending Development Program

Each program varies in length from 6 to 19 months and provides accelerated, customized experiences. All participants are assigned senior or executive mentors and provided in-person networking opportunities.

 

All programs are designed to address specific strategic goals:

  • Help us grow our bench strength for key revenue-producing positions, with a special focus on business lending, treasury management and leadership
  • Help us identify high performers within our organization to fill our employee pipeline with diverse and talented people
  • Help us retain and attract top talent by providing development programs that are robust, cutting-edge and prestigious 

In addition to our high-potential development programs, we offer all associates opportunities to "own the moment" in their career development.
