Bajaj Finserv launches 100th batch of CPBFI

3500 students have enrolled for the Certificate Programme since its inception. The programme is conducted in more than 50 colleges across 27 cities and 6 states for fresh graduates and final year students

Bajaj Finserv launched the 100^th batch of CPBFI (Certificate Programme in Banking, Finance and Insurance) at G. S. College of Commerce & Economics, Nagpur. Currently, CPBFI is present in over 25 locations in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. So far more than 2,000 students have successfully completed the programme and many have been employed by the leading financial services companies. During the first 2 job fairs conducted by Bajaj Finserv, 243 candidates (out of 443) were selected for various roles by leading banking, finance, life insurance and general insurance companies.

CPBFI is a customized 40-day Certificate Programme aimed at enhancing the employability of graduate and postgraduate students. After completing the programme, the graduates can apply for different entry-level roles in the financial services industry. The programme is creating a trained and versatile pool of graduates for the BFSI industry, that faces an acute shortage of local talent and high employee attrition, especially outside the Tier 1 towns.

Commenting on the milestone, Mr Ajay Sathe, Group Head – CSR, Bajaj Finserv Ltd, said, “Through CPBFI, we are creating employment opportunities for graduates, especially first-generation graduates. It is very gratifying to see our training helping these graduates get a job in a top company and sometimes, start earning as much as their parents. 100^th batch is an important milestone in our journey, but we have a lot of distance to cover. I hope recruiters from the BFSI industry would take note of the talent pool being created through this programme.”
