Bring Aspirations Shine Bright^®

We have two exciting programs for Sophomores: Diversity Accelerator and Explore Discover. Both will give you a chance to experience our culture, enhance your professional skills, and help you to prepare for our Summer Internship. 

• Diversity Accelerator: A 3-day event at our Global Headquarters in Riverwoods, IL. Students from all schools who identify with a group that is historically underrepresented, including but not limited to Black, Hispanic/Latine, and women in technology are encouraged to apply. 
• Explore Discover: This program is designed to introduce students to Discover’s culture while growing your skill set. Events will be hosted virtually throughout the summer of 2024.
