Ajman, 19 September 2010 - Ajman Bank today announced the launch of its new UAE-wide education program being delivered under the patronage of HH Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of Ajman Bank. The “HH Sheikh Ammar Banking Excellence Program” has been developed in collaboration with New York head-quartered The Edcomm Group Banker’s Academy to promote banking knowledge and practise in the UAE and a culture of excellence within Ajman Bank itself.
HH Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, and Chairman of Ajman Bank commented “It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the Banking Excellence Program today. Banking is a prominent industry in our local and regional economy and any effort to support this sector in terms of skills, development and training strongly in line with Ajman Bank's community objectives. Programs such as this are invaluable to the country so I congratulate all those responsible for making it happen.”
Starting this September, the six-month-long program will be open to selected recent Emirates-based university graduates and Ajman Bank staff and will offer rigorous training in the essential knowledge and skills regarding the major aspects of banking and business. The program is designed to expose individuals to the business of banking, creating dedicated, knowledgeable teams that are committed to delivering quality service, and effectively managing all customers’ needs. For students, not only will it provide the opportunity to learn alongside practicing bank employees but will also offer insight into the Ajman Bank culture.
Classroom learning and departmental rotations will be a core part of the course, culminating in certifications being awarded to all those that pass the required testing.
