MVSB's Devin Scott completes training program

MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank recently announced that Devin Scott has completed the WorkReadyNH training program as required toward ultimately achieving his Bank Teller Registered Apprenticeship certification. Scott began shadowing as a teller apprentice in MVSB’s Laconia office in the summer, working closely with his mentor and co-workers to gain banking experience.

“I previously came from a background in food management, so I started with very limited knowledge of the banking industry,” said Scott. “This program helped ease me into this new career path and taught me valuable skills such as interviewing, customer service and using computer programs. Everyone at the bank has been fantastic to work with and always willing to answer my questions and guide me through procedures. I would say I am lucky and thrilled to have joined the program.”

WorkReadyNH provides 60 hours of professional-level training that addresses the soft skills that employers want in the workplace, including communication, problem solving, decision making, business ethics, conflict resolution, employer expectations and team building.

MVSB offers the Bank Teller Registered Apprenticeship program in partnership with the Community College System of New Hampshire and Apprenticeship NH. This program provides apprentices 16 years and older with a practical pathway to a career in banking while receiving pay and mentorship. Visit apprenticeshipnh.com to learn more.
