Prime Bank offers opportunities for UCB students under partnership deal

Students of Universal College Bangladesh (UCB) will be provided with placement and internship opportunities at Prime Bank PLC under a certain arrangement.

UCB and Prime Bank signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Tuesday to create new opportunities for UCB graduates to launch their professional careers, according to a press release. 

Under this agreement, the talented young resources will further benefit from training sessions, knowledge-sharing programs, guest lectures, career guidance, and mentorship to support and fastrack their professional development.

"Besides ensuring world-class educational opportunities, at UCB, we are equipping students with scopes for practical experiences that enhance their academic achievements, and give them a realistic idea of the market and its demands,” CEO of STS Group Manas Singh said.

Prime Bank Deputy Managing Director Nazeem A Choudhury appreciated UCB for coming up with such plans for industry-academia collaboration, which he said “helps employers to filter out the top talents who are already trained for facing the fast-tempo markets.”

“We look forward to supporting the career growth of UCB students through providing hands-on learning and mentorship,” he added.

A leading international education provider in Bangladesh, UCB enables students with pathways to earn degrees from globally renowned institutions such as Monash University, University of London (LSE), and UCLan, the release says. 

It also facilitates programmes for international university admissions, catering to students with diverse academic qualifications.

Among others, Prime Bank Deputy Managing Director & Head- Human Resources, Ziaur Rahman, UCB COO Kingshuk Gupta, CFO of STS Capital Ltd SM Rahmatul Mujeeb, and its Head of Finance Mustafa Waki Chowdhury and Assistant Manager SM Risalat Rahman were present at the signing ceremony, the release adds.
