💥 On the morning of June 3rd, PVcomBank and Foreign Trade University (FTU) held the launch ceremony for the “Project-Based Learning” initiative. This program integrates PBL activities with the second internship of the Advanced program (which includes three internships from the first to the third year). The program will run for four weeks (from June 3rd to June 28th) every morning. Each student will be assigned a mentor from PVcomBank. Students will be trained at both the headquarters and branches on various topics such as banking products, operational models, customer outreach through telesales, market analysis, and direct product consultation with their mentors. At the end of each week, students must submit a report and receive feedback from their mentors and faculty advisors from the Finance and Banking Department.
