BRAC University signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Grameenphone, Bangladesh's leading telecommunications provider, to initiate a partnership focused on advancing education, research, and career development.

The telecommunications company was represented by Sayeda Tahya Hossain, Chief Human Resources Officer, Zahiduz Zaman, a BRAC University alumni and Head of Digital Channel & Distribution, and Ashfaque Hossain, Employer Brand Expert.

Professor Syed Mahfuzul Aziz highlighted the significance of the partnership, saying, "Collaborations like this enable BRAC University to transform the educational experience, integrating real-world industry insights directly into our academic programmes. By joining forces with Grameenphone, we're empowering our students with skills that not only meet industry standards but set new benchmarks for innovation and leadership in the rapidly evolving job market."

Dr David Dowland underscored the partnership's importance, stating, "This is an invaluable opportunity for us to equip our students with the skills needed to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Today's MoU represents a significant milestone in our mission to provide holistic, career-oriented education."
