Prof Dato’ Ewe said, “With this
MoU, UTAR’s Faculty of Business and Finance and the Alliance Bank will
officially begin the strategic partnership to initiate joint projects,
mutual visitations, industrial placement opportunities, curriculum
development, et cetera. The MoU will enable us to work even more closely in
creating platforms which will enrich both staff and students’ academic
experience and industrial exposure, as well as empower them to explore
learning opportunities beyond the classrooms.”
Ms Tan
said, “At ABMB we understand that the bank is more
than just products, transactions and mathematics; it is about serving
people’s needs and goals. It is not just about having a vacancy and filling
it up, but it is also about recognising our partners as unique individuals
with different emotions and needs. Therefore, this partnership is about
serving the needs of the students and the university, which aligns with our
bank’s new tagline ‘The Bank for Life’. This initiative reflects our
commitment towards our workforce. Thank you UTAR for believing in our vision
and joining hands with us today to make this collaboration a reality.”
