Standard Chartered Bangladesh has partnered with Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (BD) Limited to train and provide employment opportunities for the next generation of Bangladeshi nurses.
As part of this initiative, the Bank will support 118 students from the Kumudini Nursing School & College (KNSC) in their journey to complete their formal education and attain their Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Nursing from the institution over the course of the next 18 months.
The graduates will be guaranteed employment at the Kumudini Hospital for a term of at least two years – enabling all beneficiaries to gain practical work experience and hone their skills.
Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, the Bank’s flagship community engagement programme, is designed to help the next generation to learn, earn, and grow.
Facilitating healthcare is a core focus for institutions nationwide, while driving education is integral to the Bank’s Futuremakers initiative. Standard Chartered Bangladesh is working with Kumudini Welfare Trust and its sister concerns to make an impact by providing access to quality health education – especially for young women from communities in need, who might otherwise not have been able to pursue a career in nursing.
The agreement between Standard Chartered Bangladesh and Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (BD) Limited was signed by Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh and Rajiv Prasad Shaha, Chairman and Managing Director, Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (BD) Limited.
