BLP incorporates real world experience with cross-functional, customer, and community service experiences that not only develop you as a leader, but as a person.

Technology BLPs may be leading a project, driving a bigger initiative, or writing software, all while collaborating with other functions and senior leaders. They may also work with the regulatory compliance team so you can experience how Synchrony Financial incorporates IT into the business.
