The Eurasian Development Bank is building the team of the future
The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) and the International Programme Centre, which runs the Bolashak programme, have signed a cooperation agreement on hiring personnel. The signing ceremony took place on Friday in Astana as part of the First Forum of Bolashak Programme Scholars.
The main goal of the agreement is to establish collaborative efforts in selecting Bolashak scholars for working in the EDB. These collaborative efforts will help the EDB build upon its team of professional, qualified and dynamic people capable of working efficiently in an international organization, which offers a diverse multinational working environment.
Valentina Bolyasinkova, the EDB’s HR Director, noted: “the Bank has special status as an international organization, and is thus able to make highly competitive offers, which include social benefits based on international best practices, a guarantee system, and a balanced package of benefits and compensation. That is why the Bank has the opportunity to recruit well prepared employees with the necessary level of qualifications. The Bolashak Programme scholars are the target demographic for our offers.”
Cooperation under the agreement has already proven fruitful. In October this year, a Bolashak scholar who has gone through the International Programme Centre will begin his new job at the EDB’s Banking IT Department.
