    Course Description

    Banking Services Careers is a semester-long high school course that provides an overview of how
    the banking system works, what the Federal Reserve is, and the technical and social skills needed
    to work in banking and related services. Students explore career paths and the required training or
    higher education necessary and gain an understanding of the basic functions of customer
    transactions (e.g., setting up an account, processing a loan, establishing a business), cash drawer
    activity, check collection processes, and other customer service–related transactions. This course
    also discusses how technology has changed banking in the 21st century. The banking industry is

    accounts to debit cards, credit cards, and loans.
