Citi Uruguay Partners with Junior Achievement on 2007 Financial Training Course Launch
Uruguay – After last year's successful pilot experience, Citi Uruguay in partnership with Junior Achievement launched the first edition of its Financial Training Course on Monday, September 3. This is an educational program targets 60 high school seniors from schools in Montevideo. Daniel Varese, Citi Country Officer, hosted the opening session and first class.
Students will receive theoretical training from senior Citi executives during eight weeks. The classes are designed to give participants an overview of the bank and financial industry, including a brief history of the banking sector, its main operations and procedures as well as its products and services.
Citi and Junior Achievement created this project in response to a need for Bank in Action participants to have more background on the theory of banking.
Junior Achievement programs have been present in Uruguay since 1991. Citi has been a supporter from the beginning, always aiming to develop the entrepreneur spirit in our youth.
