NBAD's three year sponsorship will fund two Deans in Banking and Finance based at HCT's Abu Dhabi Women's College and Al Ain Men's College. The Deans will work in consultation with other experts across the organization to review, design and develop state-of-the art programs that meet the needs of students and industry. Best practices will be used to improve academic standards, evaluate student performance and facilitate faculty development.
Ranked as one of the top 50 safest banks in the world, NBAD currently operates across eleven countries on four continents. They have one of the largest branches and ATM networks in the UAE with more than 85 branches, 270 ATMs and employ over 3,000 staff.
"Emiritization is a top priority for NBAD. We are constantly looking to attract and develop the brightest banking professionals and this partnership with HCT will ensure that students will be given every opportunity to develop their banking and financial skills. We are also very pleased to become a founding member of the 100-Club,"said HE Nasser Ahmed Khalifa AlSowaidi, Chairman of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
"Since its inception in 1968, NBAD has been committed to the service of the UAE society. This pledge emanates from our belief that social responsibility is one of the pillars which underpin our success as a responsible financial institution. In our CSR policy we pledged to act as a role model in the social and environmental development of the UAE and the countries in which we operate. We are engaged in many vital activities in this regard such as donations, sponsorships, corporate philanthropy and CSR projects. Our community support focuses on the areas of education, community development, environment, art, music and sports," NBAD's Chairman added.
In 2007, as part of its 20th anniversary initiative, the Higher Colleges of Technology established the HCT Foundation with a mandate to provide partnership opportunities for both the corporate and non-profit sectors. The Foundation has added 25 companies who have made significant contributions to its 100-Club.
"NBAD is known for their commitment to the economic and social development of the UAE and to providing the highest standards of service. We are delighted to partner with NBAD to develop future financial leaders and we are proud to welcome them into the HCT Foundation 100-Club," said Dr Tayeb Kamali, Vice Chancellor of the HCT.
