Students of the 072 specialty “Finance, Banking, Insurance, and Stock Market” continue to acquire knowledge not only in classrooms but also through hands-on experience. Recently, they had the opportunity to visit one of the leading bank branches in our city (PUMB). This visit became a crucial step in their professional development, offering them an up-close look at the operations of a financial institution and a chance to try themselves in the roles of banking professionals.
During the excursion, students learned about the structure of banking operations, customer service specifics, types of banking products, and the latest technologies employed in the banking sector. Special attention was paid to modern digital tools, such as mobile banking and financial online services.
The bank’s staff enthusiastically shared their experiences and spoke about the challenges facing the banking sector in today’s dynamic environment. Students had the opportunity to ask questions about career prospects in banking, the requirements for specialists, and internship opportunities.
According to the students, this visit helped them better understand how financial institutions operate and prepared them for future professional challenges. Events like these are a great opportunity for aspiring specialists to gain valuable insights essential for a successful career.
