SMBC Becomes Inspire Sponsor of CareerSpring
CareerSpring is proud to recognize SMBC as a new Inspire Sponsor, honoring a partnership grounded in shared values, deep collaboration, and a long-term commitment to expanding access to career opportunities for first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) students.
For nearly three years, SMBC has been a valuable Employer Partner in our Network–showing up consistently for our Advisees to offer early career opportunities at one of the world’s largest banks.
Rubal Raina, SMBC’s Head of Campus Recruiting shared that “SMBC is proud to support CareerSpring as an Inspire Sponsor. Their mission to expand career access for first-generation and low‑income students aligns directly with our commitment to creating opportunity and social value. We’re honored to continue building pathways for talented students together.”
From engaging employees as volunteers to supporting large-scale career video volunteer campaigns, SMBC’s partnership has helped equip more FGLI students with the guidance, insights, and opportunities to navigate the banking industry.

Their employees show up with generosity and authenticity, and their investment in our Advisees—both as a company and in their time as volunteers—has created real, lasting impact.”
We are deeply grateful for the SMBC team for their continued support and passion for our work. Partnerships like this one show what’s possible when employers invest not just in programs, but truly believe in our mission.
