Brokerage group Capital.com announced on Monday that it has set up a paid internship programme for university students in Cyprus.
The first programme will see 30 students from Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) working at the broker over a three-month period.
According to Capital.com, the students will be working across the business, in areas like data management, risk, customer support, systems, and technology.
The broker said the goal of the programme is to bridge the students’ academic knowledge with more practical, hands-on work experience.
The internship programme will be active throughout the year and Capital.com is also looking to expand the service beyond CUT as well.
“We’re delighted to be welcoming 30 interns to work with us at the Capital.com headquarters in Limassol. Internships are a great way to discover how businesses work, build confidence and get hands-on experience,” said Capital.com Europe CEO Christoforos Soutzis.
“We are excited by the calibre of the graduates participating in this programme, and supporting them with the tools they need to build successful careers in Cyprus’ dynamic financial technology sector.”
