Discover Bank and Delaware’s Congressional Delegation of U.S.
Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons and Congressman John Carney
recognized the first group of employees to join a new Discover
work-at-home jobs program for military personnel and their family
members at a ceremony today at Dover Air Force Base.
Discover’s work-at-home program provides training, resources and
job opportunities for new employees seeking careers within the
financial services industry. In addition to training, Discover
supplies each new employee with the proper equipment and
installation support to ensure a successful working environment at
home. The new employees' work will be coordinated out of Discover's
New Castle call center. Recruitment efforts for the new program
focus on military personnel and their family members from the Dover
Air Force Base and those associated with the base in the
surrounding area.
“Discover is committed to helping veterans and their families
secure rewarding, flexible and full-time employment opportunities
in our community,” said Jim Roszkowski, president of Discover Bank.
“We appreciate the help of Dover Air Force Base and Senator Carper
as we actively work to attract, develop and retain veterans,
reservists and military spouses.”
Discover’s new program addresses a need to connect military
personnel with skilled, flexible and local employment opportunities
while also addressing Discover’s growing business needs. Discover
Bank is reviewing plans to extend the program to other military
bases as it provides veterans with the flexibility in where and how
they work.
“I was proud to be able to connect Discover Bank to the skilled
workforce here at Dover Air Force Base,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Carper.
“I’ve long believed that one of the best things you can do for
someone is to help them find a good job. This program is a win-win
because it helps provide military families with the opportunity to
be trained and employed close to or in their own homes, allowing
them to stay near their community and close to their children.”
“The financial services sector offers enormous professional
opportunities here in Delaware, and Discover's program is
creatively helping more Delawareans to take advantage of them,”
Senator Chris Coons said. “The work-at-home program gives our
talented neighbors the chance at a career that works around the
time constraints of a busy schedule. For military spouses,
especially, that flexibility can make all the difference. I applaud
Discover for launching this program, and congratulate the first
class of employees on completing their training.”
“The men and women serving in our military make sacrifices for
our country every day. They deserve to know that when they come
home, their service will be recognized, and that while they’re away
serving their country, their families are being looked after,” said
Congressman Carney. “Discover has realized that hiring
military families and veterans is both the right thing to do, and
adds skilled, knowledgeable employees to its
workforce. Congratulations to this first class of new hires
graduating today. I look forward to seeing many more come through
this program.”
