Sondrio.

This program, reserved for students in the province of Sondrio who are attending their fifth year of high school, aims at providing an important contribution to the education of young customers, which will hopefully lead to greater professional opportunities.

To participate in the selection, students must meet the following requirements:

• Hold a "Armonia Young" account in one of the branches of the Credito Valtellinese Group;
• Be enrolled in his/her fifth year at a high school in the province of Sondrio;
• Have basic knowledge of the English language;
• Be in good health.

The contest description and application form are available in the relevant section and there is no application fee.
