Itaú has started registrations for the Impulsione Initiative, a program executed in partnership with Rafael Touro Academy of Finance. The aim of the project is to prepare professionals in the financial sector for the essential certifications required to work in the area.
Individuals who identify as Black or Brown, as well as those with disabilities, are the focus of this edition of the Impulsione project, and they will be eligible to receive one of the 1000 training scholarships available for CPA-10 and CPA-20 certifications.
Why Are CPA-10 and CPA-20 Certifications Important?
Obtaining one of these certifications offered by Anbima is the first step for those interested in pursuing a career in the financial sector. With these certifications, professionals meet the basic requirements to work, among other things, in bank branches that serve high-income clients and retail clients.

The CPA-10 certification is aimed at those who work in the distribution of investment-related products.

It is important to remember that a professional with a CPA-20 certification can perform the same functions as someone with a CPA-10. However, the reverse is not possible.
