CAREER DAY IN HSBC BANK ARMENIA CJSC
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM REGIONS
Today, 40 school children from underprivileged families in the regions will be hosted by HSBC Bank Armenia cjsc for a Career Day organised together with Junior Achievement Armenia (JAA). The Career Day is for children to learn about the Bank’s structure, the principles of financial services and the basics of banking.
The Career Day is a follow-up to a series of lectures conducted by 14 volunteers from HSBC Bank Armenia at 16 schools in different regions of Armenia. During the lectures HSBC volunteers delivered presentations on a number of topics in economics and finance. Forty of these children were selected and invited to attend the Career Day in HSBC Armenia’s Head Office and National Service Centre.
The event is aimed at raising the children’s awareness of financial services and banking sector, inspiring them to fulfil their potential through education and inspiring them to achieve challenging and successful careers. During the meeting the children also asked questions of HSBC Bank Armenia senior managers and Chief Executive Officer, Tim Slater.
Junior Achievement Armenia is a winner of HSBC Global Education Trust’s Future First Programme in 2007 and has received a grant totalling USD75,000 over three years. The grant has helped JAA to organize classes on key concepts of economics, entrepreneurship and financial literacy for school children in remote regions of Armenia.
