Banco Santander and Universia have introduced a new initiative aimed at young professionals with a digital background. This program is designed for students and recent graduates who are less than two years into their careers. The first international edition of this initiative will begin in Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and Uruguay, with plans to expand soon to Argentina, Brazil, Poland, and the UK.
The program offers around 60 positions for final-year students or recent graduates with up to two years of career experience. Participants will work in Banco Santander's global Retail & Commercial Banking division on strategic projects that support the bank's operational and business transformation. Additionally, they will receive specialized training through a three-week bootcamp focused on enhancing digital skills and business acumen.
Banco Santander aims to attract individuals with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, data or AI who have an interest in innovation. Applicants should excel in data analysis, digital tools, teamwork, creativity, and communication. The application deadline is May 30.
Ramón Rodríguez commented on the initiative: "Santander seeks to attract young talented people."
