Ridha Tekaia, president of CB „Mobiasbanca - Groupe Société Générale" S.A., mentioned during the opening event: "I am proud to announce that today CB „Mobiasbanca - Groupe Société Générale" S.A. launches its new Training Centre.

It is one of our great achievements, in line with the bank's strategy of human resources development and corresponding to the Group's aim to transfer to all subsidiaries the knowledge, skills, best practices and methods to fit international standards. Due to this new training facility, we will be able to deliver up to 68.000 training hour per year, which is more than twice as much as before (25.500 hours in 2013 and 28.500 hours in 2014). It will also allow us to develop our partnerships with educational institutions such as Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, ASEM and others, in line with the social responsibility policy of the bank and Societe Generale."

The new training facility has 2 training rooms and one meeting room, with a total capacity of 70 people. Training rooms are equipped with all necessary instruments for all types of trainings and seminars - technical abilities, personal development, commercial efficiency, etc. Employees will be able to develop here their soft skills in order to become future managers of the bank. Last generation technical equipment is available and allows trainers to use all kind of materials.

The School Branch, part of the Training Center, is an absolute innovation for Republic of Moldova, especially for the banking system. It is identical to any other branch in the bank's network and employees training here will be able to simulate real situations, encountered during a usual working day of a branch. The director of the School Branch, Liudmila Hersun, has been working as branch director for the last 6 years and is very enthusiastic about the opportunity to educate new generations of bankers. Having both Training Center and school branch in the same building offers the advantage of a mixed approach - learning theory and then applying it in practice.

The new employees will learn here all they need to know in order to offer to our customers the best quality of service, proving our position of a reference bank on the market, chosen by clients for the quality of products and services."
