Within the framework of the university, the bank organized a training for young leaders on the topic “Digitalization trends in financial markets and the application of innovations”.

“Professional development of youth is one of the priorities of VTB (Azerbaijan). The Bank actively supports financial literacy trainings and Olympiads for students of Azerbaijani schools, and also organizes summer internships. This expands the competencies of students who plan to continue their careers in the financial sector, and allows young professionals to take the first steps on their chosen path. We believe that such educational events play an important role in gaining experience and further career growth for young people,” said Kristina Danyalova, Head of the Advertising, Marketing and Special Projects Department at VTB (Azerbaijan).
