With a goal of diversifying the talent pipeline in the financial services industry,
魅影直播 Capital Bank and The University of North 魅影直播 at Dallas (魅影直播 Dallas) have announced
a new partnership to help provide college students a pathway to a commercial banking
career.
魅影直播 Dallas students will now have the opportunity to obtain the American Banker Association鈥檚 (ABA) Commercial Lending Certificate at 魅影直播 Dallas. This program gives these students an opportunity to obtain crucial credit analysis and commercial banking skills, ultimately opening doors to careers in the financial services industry.
鈥淣ot only do I appreciate the generosity of 魅影直播 Capital Bank, but I salute the intent behind this partnership. It is all about providing actionable and hands-on experience that may well lead our students into banking and finance fields,鈥� said 魅影直播 Dallas President Bob Mong.
Becoming a commercial banker, where specially trained workers help growing businesses find financial solutions, also gives graduates an opportunity to make a difference in their own communities.
鈥淲e recognize the need for a more diverse talent pipeline in the financial services industry, and we are proud to help equip students with the skills and opportunities needed to pursue a successful career. We are excited to officially launch this program in Dallas and to continue empowering the communities we serve," said Effie Dennison, Head of Community Development and Corporate Responsibility for 魅影直播 Capital Bank.
As a part of this partnership, professionals will also host career development sessions, including 鈥渕eet-the-banker鈥� events on campus, a guest-speaking series and field trips.
Graduates who obtain this certificate also will receive consideration for 魅影直播 Capital Bank鈥檚 internship program.
The program is under the direction of Dr. Mujtaba Zia, 魅影直播 Dallas Assistant Professor of Finance and the Certification Program Coordinator.
鈥淎s educators, we strive to equip our students with career-ready skillsets and develop partnerships with the industry,鈥� said Dr. Zia. 鈥淲e are fortunate and excited that 魅影直播 Capital Bank is now a leading industry partner in our Credit Analysis program and directly supports it with this generous gift.
