JULY 2, 1:05 A.M. – JPMorgan Chase, a banking institution, will partner with Syracuse University in creating a financial and information technology curriculum, benefiting students throughout upstate New York, and a technology center on campus.

During the next 10 years, the company will invest $30 million in the deal, according to an SU News release. The venture will create hundreds of jobs in the region and will help train people in banking infrastructure and services.

The program will not only benefit SU students, but also students at additional public and private colleges across the state, the release stated. Officials hope Syracuse City School District can eventually be trained as well.

‘This partnership will put scholarship into action to solve real-world problems in global financial services technology while reaching out to K-12 students and engaging college students near and far,’ Chancellor Nancy Cantor told SU News. ‘JPMorgan Chase is a powerhouse, and seeing its commitment to this region and state played out in hundreds of new technology jobs and the creation of a state-of-the-art green-built technology center on our campus is a dream come true.’
