Corporate Testimonials
"As the leader in diabetes and the world’s largest manufacturer of insulin, Novo Nordisk is very careful and selective when entrusting the development of our executives to a third party. Our collaboration with ALBA dates back to 1992 and is going from strength to strength ever since. ALBA is consistently our provider of choice in executive education and we are very pleased with our collaboration to date. Since 2006 we have established a Funding Program that aims to help South African students coming from “previously disadvantaged backgrounds” through scholarships that cover their ALBA tuition fees and living expenses. In addition our experience with recruitments from ALBA Alumni is more than satisfactory. We are looking forward to exploring further areas of successful collaboration with ALBA in the future."

"In Eurobank we consider that, our People is our main asset and we view their development as a key factor for our success. With that in mind, we have established the “Eurobank EFG- ALBA In House MBA in Financial Services”. Our In house MBA program offers premium educational experience to our employees by a comprehensive curriculum emphasizing current issues, challenges and best practices in banking.
Our successful cooperation with ALBA Graduate Business School started four years ago and has developed three groups of young executives and top performers. We currently run the 4th in house MBA class (1st class in Northern Greece), while the 5th class will begin in spring 2008 in Athens.
We believe that our In house MBA program adds true value to our organization and contributes to the development of a culture centered on self improvement and motivation, and operational excellence."
