This program offers young students the opportunity to receive training in the main headquarters in Washington and the University of Oviedo is the only one in Spain to offer this type of program
The three students of the University of Oviedo selected to be awarded an internship grant at the Inter-American Development Bank (BID) in Washington, have taken part this morning in a meeting with the Rector of the University of Oviedo, Vicente Gotor, and the general director of Sabadell Herrero Bank, Pablo Junceda.
The students will begin their internship period on January 12. These grants, jointly called by the University of Oviedo and Sabadell Bank Foundation, will allow three students with the best academic records in the University to undergo practical training for 6 months in the headquarters of BID, gaining experience in the administration of the Inter-American Development Bank and becoming familiar with its policies and procedures.
The University of Oviedo is the only institution with a program with these characteristics in Spain. On a European basis, only the prestigious Institute for Political Studies of Paris holds a similar agreement.
