Bitget has launched a global graduate program as part of its Blockchain4Youth initiative to develop Web3 talent. The move aligns with its ongoing expansion, including securing a Bulgaria license and introducing new trading and DeFi services.
Bitget, a big cryptocurrency exchange, has started its first-ever graduate program to hire the best people from the world’s best universities.
The Bitget Graduate Program was announced on February 17. It is part of the exchange’s Blockchain4Youth Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, which aims to promote tech education, new ideas, and blockchain’s long-term growth.
An Effort to Help Web3 Talent Grow
Bitget started its CSR program in May 2023 to encourage people to use cryptocurrencies. At first, Bitget Academy was used to offer blockchain courses and certifications. Later, it grew to include university lectures in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and North America.
After almost two years, Bitget is now expanding its program with the Graduate Program, which is aimed at recent college graduates who are very interested in blockchain and new ideas.
Participants will receive career opportunities in different fields, including operations, product management, marketing, risk & compliance, data management, and engineering.
Bitget COO Vugar Usi Zade emphasized that the program provides young talents with a chance to immerse themselves in the blockchain industry.
“At Bitget, we believe the future of Web3 lies in the hands of the next generation. The Graduate Program is designed to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity, providing young professionals with a direct pathway to immerse themselves in the blockchain industry,” he said.
Bitget’s Recent Expansions and Strategic Moves
The launch of the graduate program aligns with Bitget’s growing presence in the crypto business. In January, it became the first exchange to offer copy trading on gold and FX, enabling users to replicate pro traders’ strategies on MetaTrader 5 (MT5) using USDT as collateral.
Just last week, Bitget secured an operational license in Bulgaria, legally registering as a Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP). Coinspeaker reported that Bulgaria has been picked as its official base for European expansion.
This move fits with what the company is doing to follow the Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which controls the crypto industry in the EU. Bitget also works in Italy, Poland, the UK, and the US, making sure that they follow the rules in each country.
Bitget also added to its decentralized finance (DeFi) services in October of last year by starting liquid restaking services for Solana (SOL). This lets users earn passive rewards while also helping to keep the network safe.
