The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) named the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) Employer of the year for its outstanding support for the College during the 2012-2013 academic year.
NBAD’s support for UAE’s academic institutions is part of its Emiratisation drive to attract, train, and retain young Emiratis.
“As a financial institution, we endeavor to be a global player in banking and to be recognized the World’s Best Arab Bank. One way to achieve this vision is by investing in human resource development and train tomorrow’s business leaders,” said Ehab Hassan, the Group Chief Human Resources Officer of NBAD. “HCT plays a vital role in developing young generation and equipping them with the knowledge and skills to succeed in an ever-changing market.”
NBAD has teamed up with HCT on several initiatives to support students throughout their education and career development. The Bank has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HCT to jointly develop training programmes and cooperate on recruitment, sponsorships and job training.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NBAD and HCT, the Bank would provide career guidance to the colleges’ graduates. NBAD would also provide tutorial, seminar expertise and lecturing to Higher Colleges of Technology. Furthermore, the two partners would develop joint venture training programmes in which would offer HCT students and graduates the chance to combine academics with practical knowledge and NBAD’s employees to boost their skills.
The Bank has also taken part in HCT’s career fair to provide career guidance on Emiratisation development programmes and job opportunities available within NBAD as well as meet with potential employees.
NBAD is a founding member of Higher Colleges of Technology Foundation’s 100-club and funded two Deans in Banking and Finance based at HCT’s Abu Dhabi Women’s College and Al Ain Men’s College.
“We believe in the importance of education in developing Emiratis and empowering them with the required skills and knowledge to contribute effectively to the UAE growing economy and become future leaders. We will continue to support UAE’s higher education institutions and be part of the nation development,” explained Amani Al Khaledi, the Head of Emiratisation at NBAD.
The celebration of partnership ceremony was held at The Higher Colleges of Technology in Dubai. During the ceremony, Sheikh Hasher Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, Director General of Dubai Information Department, presented the award to Ghadeer Al Khalsan, Emarati Development Manager at NBAD.
