“Supporting young, talented, involved and passionate people is an important aspect of Gazprombank’s social policy. We implement a lot of scholarship, educational and internship programs, and it is a great honor for the Bank to partner with a project where everyone has a chance to show their worth,” said Natalya Tretyak.
