After the successful completion of the training, the best students can be enrolled in the Bank.
The "Mentoring" program implementation is carried out in several steps. First, the graduates take a test. According to the test results, the most talented students are offered to take the training course, most closely resembling reality of banking routine. Then they have the common working practice based on «Banking management fundamentals» customized program and probation in their specialization. For the period of working practices, each graduate has a mentor from among the bank employees that estimates the success of a recruit. Upon the successful completion of the program, the trainee shall be added to the Bank staff, or receives the reference letter and experience which will help to much easier find a job in the financial sector.
