REV on Campus is a hands-on, career-building program that partners with local high schools to prepare students for real-world roles in financial services and marketing.

Recognized by the South Carolina Department of Education as a top career and technical education (CTE) program, and awarded The Desjardins Youth Financial Education Award for its leadership in youth financial education, REV on Campus offers four unique paths—finance and account management, brand marketing, public relations, and leadership—each providing hands-on experience and knowledge of the credit union industry. Through classroom learning and paid, on-the-job experience, students—called Brand Influencers—gain practical skills, industry exposure, and a head start on their professional futures.
Students also receive additional curriculum in their chosen area to spark further exploration and career growth. Many even continue their experience beyond the classroom, working in REV locations during summer and holiday breaks while getting paid. Beyond the branch, students gain exposure to the broader world of banking through job shadowing, career workshops, and events like REV Day and REV Day for Good. REV on Campus is all about preparing students for future careers while having fun and making an impact!
