Guidelines on Foundation Training for Newly Recruited Scheduled Bank Officials
Bangladesh Bank has issued mandatory guidelines requiring all scheduled banks to implement a standardized foundation training program for newly recruited officials. The directive mandates a minimum fourteen-week curriculum split into eight weeks of theoretical instruction and six weeks of practical exposure, covering core banking operations, macroeconomics, digital finance, regulatory compliance, and professional ethics. Completion of this training is compulsory for service confirmation, with banks permitted to utilize internal or joint training centers and encouraged to exceed the prescribed minimum standards through customized modules.
