THE Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future (BIBD ALAF) Programme recently closed its BIBD ALAF Career and Smart Camps which ran for seven days at the Orchid Garden Hotel in Berakas.
The two camps had almost 50 students, and included talks and counselling sessions tailored to bring the best out of the participants, according to press releases.
The Career Camp was crafted with the intention of preparing the more senior ALAF students and making them aware of the career opportunities available as well how they can focus their studies to steer their efforts towards their preference.
On the other hand, the Smart Camp sought to further motivate and support the development and progression of selected students by building up their self-confidence, capabilities and drive to achieve goals.
Haji Minorhadi bin Haji Mirhassan, BIBD’s Head of Government Relations and Special Projects, said, “Alhamdulillah, with the ongoing support from the government, corporations and individuals, as well as BIBD’s own initiatives, we are able to further contribute to the ongoing development of our community, especially those who are less fortunate.
“The ALAF programme is just one of many activities close to our hearts to ensure that we contribute towards a more productive and also sustainable economy.
“We are proud of the encouraging progress of these students who are – Insya Allah – well on their way to achieving their aspirations. Amin.”
BIBD yesterday also held a financial literacy talk for more than 80 Radio Televisyen Brunei (RTB) personnel at Dewan Raya RTB.
The talk was delivered by BIBD’s Islamic Financial Planner, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah.
Also in attendance was the Acting Director of RTB, Lim Soh Kwang.
The talk was part of BIBD’s ongoing efforts “to raise awareness and benefits of better financial management, while at the same time underscoring the importance of elevating financial literacy awareness in Brunei Darussalam”.
