Forbes, in partnership with Statista, named Fifth Third Bank to its 2021 list of the best employers for new graduates.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the Forbes best employers for new graduates,” Shawn Harter, senior vice president and director of talent acquisition at Fifth Third, said. “We seek to create meaningful work experiences that will develop future leaders through skill building, experiential learning and exposure to enhance business outcomes.”

More than 20,000 U.S. young professionals working for companies that employ at least 1,000 people participated in an independent survey, which focused around work-related issues and respondents’ experiences in the workplace, to determine the list. The survey asked participants to rate the likelihood that they would recommend their employer to family and friends. Respondents also assessed their employers according to atmosphere and development, diversity, image, salary and wage, working conditions and workplace. Additionally, participants evaluated other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively.

Through its leadership programs, Fifth Third offers full-time and internship opportunities to college students and college graduates in the following areas:
