KBC Future Talents summer internship program 2023 was successfully completed

We are happy to announce the successful completion of KBC Future Talents Summer Internship program that took place from 15 June to 31 August 2023 in the office of KBC Global Services in Varna. We are proud that since the establishment of its Bulgarian branch in 2019, KBC Global Services - a company that is a driving force for the global banking and insurance business of the KBC Group - has become a hub for many local talents who are studying or completing their higher education in Bulgaria and wish to continue their successful careers here, applying the knowledge acquired on the academic bench.

Sixteen ambitious students from universities in Bulgaria, Austria, Italy and England with a diverse academic profile, ranging from IT to finance and economics, took part in this year's edition of the internship program matching the requirements of eight job roles. For two-and-a-half months, they joined our teams working on different challenging projects, learned more about the service domains of the company and presented their achievements in a closing session in front of their fellows. Everyone received a certificate for the successful completion of the program.
