UniCredit Bulbank will launch its annual internship programme at the end of March.   University students and young professionals who want to start their career development in the financial sector can take part in the programme.  The internship lasts between three and six months and provides the opportunity to have a long-term career at the largest Bulgarian bank.  The programme is paid and happens throughout the year, so that each candidate can decide on the best moment to take part in it in view of his/her university schedule. 

In 2017, the interns may choose to work at UniCredit Bulbank as well as at the companies UniCredit Leasing, UniCredit Factoring and UniCredit Consumer Financing. At the bank, the interns have a wide range of opportunities to join the branch network in Sofia and across the country, or the teams of the following divisions and units: Retail Banking; Markets and Brokerage; Corporate and Investment Banking and Private Banking; ICT Management; Operations; Risk Management; Special Credit; Bank Security; Customer Satisfaction Department; Marketing Department; Identity and Communications; Human Resources and the Call Center. 

Being one of the largest employers in Bulgaria, UniCredit Bulbank admits around 400 interns each year.  For the past 5 years over 2,000 people took part in the internship programme.  Over 550 of them continued working at UniCredit Bulbank after the end of their internship.

 “There is great interest in the internship programme of UniCredit Bulbank every year.  It is an excellent opportunity for students to acquire practical skills in various spheres and to get a closer view of the way a financial institution with leading positions on the Bulgarian and the European market operates,” said Ivan Papazov, Senior Manager Recruitment at UniCredit Bulbank.  According to him, team work, relationships with customers and solving real cases are extremely appreciated by many of the internship candidates.

This February UniCredit Bulbank was distinguished as a Top Employer in Bulgaria by the Top Employers Institute, based in Amsterdam.  The recognition is a result of an assessment and analysis of the processes and best practices of organisations in nine fields such as work environment, staff training, talent development strategy and performance management.
