00:03.536 --> 00:06.106
TIAA’s Ignite program is all

00:06.106 --> 00:07.507
about
creating opportunities

00:07.507 --> 00:09.175
and opening doors
for young,

00:09.175 --> 00:10.677
aspiring professionals.

00:10.677 --> 00:12.112
We invite college
students

00:12.112 --> 00:14.180
to our campus
to meet our team,

00:14.180 --> 00:17.550
explore career paths,
and learn new skills.

00:17.550 --> 00:19.652
This is more than
an experience.

00:19.652 --> 00:22.922
It's a spark to unlock
their full potential.

00:22.922 --> 00:24.357
Knowing
that they are also first-gen

00:24.357 --> 00:25.759
like I am just,

00:25.759 --> 00:27.794
that really sticks with
me and it also gives me

00:27.794 --> 00:29.162
the confidence to,
that like,

00:29.162 --> 00:30.563
if they were
able to do it then

00:30.563 --> 00:32.065
I'm also able to do it.

00:32.065 --> 00:33.533
During their time with us

00:33.533 --> 00:34.901
these students
demonstrated

00:34.901 --> 00:39.072
curiosity, ambition,
and shared big dreams.

00:39.072 --> 00:39.773
I've realized that

00:39.773 --> 00:41.474
they are people like me
too, and it's easy

00:41.474 --> 00:42.876
for me to relate
with them,

00:42.876 --> 00:43.710
when you're in a much

00:43.710 --> 00:45.945
more personal space
with them.

00:45.945 --> 00:47.280
Now, they know

00:47.280 --> 00:49.949
they have the power
to shape their futures,

00:49.949 --> 00:53.486
and TIAA is here to support them along the way.
