"Ericka started as an intern in the Accounts Payable group of Fund Administration in February of this year. She has been ultimately offered a position as a full time employee with PGIM. Ericka’s desire to learn all phases and challenges of the Accounts Payable system was obvious from the start. She quickly took ownership of interacting with outside vendors and internal employees whenever questions arose. Once the pandemic happened and we had to work from home, she rose to the challenge of remote learning while at the same time continuing her education via remote learning."

“Throughout my time with PGIM Investments, from my Year Up internship to a full-time employee, there has been a foundation of transparency, communication, and trust. It’s a blessing to be part of a community of individuals who inspire growth, both for the company and myself.”

“There are currently millions of Opportunity Youth in the United States who are not in school or working.
