Universal College Bangladesh (UCBD) and software development and fintech company SSL Wireless have signed a memorandum of understanding to provide students with internships, career placement opportunities, professional training and exposure to real-world projects.
The agreement, signed recently at SSL Wireless’s corporate office, will give UCBD students access to internship and career placement pipelines, specialised professional training and industry-led knowledge-sharing sessions, UCBD said in a press release on Wednesday.
Students will also have opportunities to observe real-life projects at SSL Wireless, giving them first-hand experience in professional working environments.
UCBD Chief Operating Officer Kingshuk Gupta and SSL Wireless Head of Human Resources Mohammad Saiful Islam signed the agreement.
SSL Wireless Deputy Manager for Human Resources Nashid Noureen and STS Group General Manager for Corporate Relations Shah Yousha Ahmad also attended the signing ceremony.
“Our priority at UCBD is to nurture job-ready graduates,” Gupta said.
“Partnering with an organisation like SSL Wireless allows our students to step directly into real-world work environments, gain meaningful software skills and build competitive careers right from campus.”
Islam said the collaboration would allow SSL Wireless to mentor UCBD students, help them identify their strengths and potentially bring future leaders into the company’s talent ecosystem.
“Through this collaboration, we look forward to mentoring bright young minds at UCBD, helping them discover their strengths, and welcoming future leaders into our talent ecosystem,” he said.
