The ATPC will continue its industry leading young professionals development program in 2025, with applications live now.
The ATPC’s sixth Future Leaders class commences in February 2025, offering professional skills development and introducing participants to the critical role government relations plays for the payments processing industry. Future Leaders identifies and educates rising professionals primed to lead the payments processing industry across technological, institutional, business development and workforce portfolios. This yearlong program is comprised of multiple networking and educational activities designed to enhance the future success of ATPC member and sponsor company rising professionals.
In short, Future Leaders expands industry knowledge, creates onramps to government and regulatory engagement, and develops personal leadership skills for participants. And it empowers the next generation of leadership.
Of note, the ATPC member companies found real value in this professional development program and is calling upon the organization to charge a tuition fee for participation, which is new in 2025.
Consider the following insights from a recent Future Leaders alumni survey:
“Before I participated in the program, I didn’t realize how extensive the payments industry is. It has broadened my knowledge and I now hope to make a life long career in this industry.”
“It’s easy to forget the rest of the world does not understand financial services like those living it every day. Not only does this program help me grow as a leader, but also highlighted the importance of constant outreach to those making policy and legal changes that impact the industry and those we serve.”
“My role has changed since participating in the Future Leaders program – I am in a different division of the company. I was able to use topics I learned through the Future Leaders program to strengthen my interview answers when I applied for this new position.”
