RIYADH: Under the “SABB in the Community Programs” initiative, the Saudi British Bank (SABB), in collaboration with the Al-Yamamah University (YU), established an “SABB Investment Research Center at YU” last week. This initiative comes within the framework of activities carried out by the bank to advance education in the Kingdom.
The center aims to help students and faculty members from YU, especially students and professors in the College of Business Administration, conduct research and carry out various projects through direct contact with local and international money markets. The center also allows students to apply the knowledge they have acquired in lecture halls, to correspond with the real business environment.
The center is furnished with state of the art equipment with a view to achieving the desired goals of training students to compete in the labor and investment markets.
SABB is one of the major banks in the Kingdom to contribute to society. Education is one of the areas that the bank focuses on, on the grounds that the success of education is the basis for development, growth and prosperity. These activities include providing grants for postgraduate studies to Saudi graduates, as well as training programs to prepare them for work in the field of banking, in addition to other training programs organized in collaboration with other universities and educational institutions in the Kingdom.
