UWI, IBF sign landmark banking internship deal
The initiative coincides with The UWI’s mission of providing students with relevant education and training for professional advancement and personal growth, as well as meeting the requirements of the various sectors for capable, high-skills labour. Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal Clement K Sankat signed the MOU on behalf of The UWI, while President of the Institute of Banking, Joel-Ann Cook-Walcott, represented IBF. “This is the first time that industry, education and profession have come together for capable, knowledgeable and trained professionals. This initiative is also for finance and banking professionals to remain relevant through ongoing certification,” Mrs Cook-Walcott said. |
