Wooster Alum Begins Career in Finance

Recent College of Wooster graduate Jaylin Hudson has started his career as a financial advisory development track analyst with JPMorgan Chase & Co. The opportunity came after two successful summer internships with the Posse Career Program partner’s Advancing Black Pathways Fellowship.

I want to improve financial literacy and advocacy for people in Atlanta.

As a Pathways Fellow, Jaylin was able to shadow financial advisory professionals at the firm’s headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The following summer, his access expanded to include close work with investment advisors and hands-on projects in both departments. Ultimately, he hopes to return to his community to share his new skills and create pathways for wealth for those in need.

“I have always been passionate about helping others,” says Jaylin. “I want to improve financial literacy and advocacy for people in Atlanta.”

The Posse Career Program helps prepare Scholars and alum for the workforce and connects Scholars directly to industry-leading companies and organizations. Among other resources, Career Program partners offer exclusive access to internship applications and support with application materials—opportunities that have proven invaluable for thousands of Scholars, including Jaylin.

“Access to large financial institutions can be limited,” says Jaylin. “Eventually, I want to start my own financial literacy organization to make access to good financial advice more equitable.”
