OREANDA-NEWS. March 12, 2012. The UkrSibbank BNP Paribas Group will participate in the sixth national Talent Fair 2012 career conference that will take place on March 14, 2012, in the Kyiv International Management Institute under the aegis of the AIESEC global youth organization in Ukraine, reported the press-centre of UkrSibbank.
 
This annual career conference is an excellent opportunity for students and young specialists worldwide to meet the best employers. The key objective of the event is to familiarize young people with career prospects offered by the country’s leading companies. The Talent Fair has been held annually in Ukraine since 2007. Conference participants undergo careful selection and short-listing, after which only the top 150 applicants in Ukraine receive an invitation to the event. The distinctive feature of Talent Fair 2012 is that participants will not only be able to introduce themselves to top employers at the career fair, but also obtain the most up-to-date reports on labor market conditions, prospective business trends, etc. In their turn, employers will share their vision of an ideal candidate for a position in a large company as well as career opportunities that they offer.
 
UkrSibbank is not a first-time participant in this type of event because support for dynamic young people striving for constant learning and development is part of the bank’s strategy. The bank has justly earned its reputation as one of Ukraine’s premier employers in the financial field by taking part in various events that can serve as an effective platform for familiarizing itself with talented and progressive youth. Last year, for instance, the bank participated in the AIESEC conference for university graduates, the Education and Career Expo organized by the AUDESF,  the Kyiv Post job fair, and Career Expo online exhibition of employers. Sticking to tradition, UkrSibbank acted as a general partner of the “Company 2020: Students’ Ideas” conference that took place in February 2012, during which bank representatives had a chance to communicate with the most proactive students. In addition to gifts from UkrSibbank, winners of the event received an opportunity to get a first-hand view of the bank’s operations.
 
UkrSibbank’s support of talented youth presupposes implementation of several programs earmarked for students and graduates without job experience to take their first steps along the career path. For example, the “Stars on the Start” program is aimed at attracting creative and ambitious young specialists and graduates from Ukraine’s best universities to work in different subdivisions of the bank, with a view to creating a strong, professional managerial team for the future. The “Internship in UkrSibbank Branches” program provides an opportunity to acquire operational experience at branches of one of the leaders in the Ukrainian banking sector.          
 
UkrSibbank intends to keep supporting various events aimed at helping young people to expand their horizons and obtain gainful employment, thereby upholding the worthy tradition launched by the bank and BNP Paribas Group worldwide.
