The National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) has partnered with Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi to jointly develop training programmes and cooperate on recruitment, sponsorships and job training.

The partnership with Sorbonne Abu Dhabi is part of NBAD’s strategy to actively contribute to the development of human resources and raise standards of tomorrow’s UAE leaders. It also serves to allow NBAD recruit top talents.

"Sorbonne University made a strategic decision to open a campus in Abu Dhabi. NBAD, through this partnership, aims to increase Sorbonne’s success in Abu Dhabi by providing it greater resources," said Ehab Hassan, the Group Chief Human Resources Officer. "It also represents NBAD’s commitment to support entities that help in the development of Abu Dhabi as a strategic international hub," Hassan added: "NBAD is particularly keen to support universities and providers of higher education because they are developing tomorrow’s leaders." Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NBAD and Sorbonne, NBAD would provide career guidance to the university’s graduates. NBAD and Sorbonne would develop joint venture training initiatives. The initiatives would boost NBAD employees’ skills, and boost Sorbonne students’ and graduate’ practical knowledge.

NBAD would also provide tutorial, seminar expertise and lecturing to Sorbonne University.

"This partnership would benefit both Sorbonne and NBAD and will make both organisations stronger, which in turn will contribute greatly to the progress of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates," he said.

NBAD has been consistently been recognised and honoured for programmes that are instrumental in the training of its employees and the recruitment and development of talented UAE nationals. Recently, for instance, Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS) honoured NBAD for its strategies to search, identify and hire UAE nationals who seek careers in financially services and proved their motivation through academic achievements. In another accolade, IFS School of Finance, the leading provider of professional banking and financial qualifications, has awarded Michael H. Tomalin, the Group Chief Executive of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD), an Honorary Doctorate of Science in Banking and Finance in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the financial services industry.
