Summary:
EBC's strategic collaboration bridges industry-academia gaps and nurtures talent through globally focused internship programs.
Mongolia is a nation of youth - 65% of its population is under 35. As the country's financial sector rapidly grows, these young people are becoming pivotal talent to spur growth in the sector. Recognising this potential, we at EBC Financial Group (EBC) have been honoured to receive a formal letter of appreciation from the International University of Ulaanbaatar (IUU) for our impactful participation in the IUU's Career Promotion Day "Axiun omox rahwnuyyma eдерner" on 29 April 2025.
As Mongolia's young workforce seeks global exposure to thrive in an interconnected economy, EBC's engagement—our first formal collaboration with IUU—highlights our dedication to bridge local talent with international opportunities. Through financial literacy initiatives, hands-on career guidance, and cross-border internships, we are aligned with Mongolia's priorities to empower youth as the next generation of leaders in finance.
From Local Engagement to Global Impact
During the event, our Mongolia team, led by Chief Operation Officer (COO) Mrs. Tamir Baatar and our Business Development team, engaged with over 160 students from IUU's Economics and Business faculties, demystifying career pathways in financial services and inspiring interest through hands-on guidance such as financial lectures, forum, and virtual trading competitions. The overwhelming response, evidenced by student onboarding forms, culminated in the signing of a Joint Cooperation Agreement with IUU, endorsed by the Board Director of the University, Dr. Kang Yoyul.
The partnership will deliver:
Up to 10 annual internship positions at our Mongolia office, with opportunities for selected students to join our other offices across our global network, fostering international career exposure.
Year-round collaborative programs, including monthly financial lectures, virtual trading competitions, and employment counselling to bridge academia and industry.
Priority recruitment pipelines for IUU graduates, coupled with mentorship and research projects addressing Mongolia's economic priorities.
As a result of these interactions, over 160 students from the Business and Economics faculty submitted onboarding forms, expressing interest in future opportunities with us. "This partnership is more than a milestone for EBC in Mongolia, it's a testament to our belief that empowering youth with knowledge and opportunity strengthens entire economies," said Mrs. Baatar. "By equipping students with real-world skills, we're investing in the resilience and innovation of the financial sector."
"We are proud to be part of an initiative that not only opens doors for young Mongolian talent but also builds enduring ties between industry and academia," added Mrs. Baatar. "EBC's vision is rooted in empowering the next generation with both knowledge and opportunity."
A Legacy of Academic Collaboration and ESG Leadership
Our collaboration with IUU mirrors our longstanding commitment to education globally. As a supporter of the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford, we co-hosted the "What Economists Really Do (WERD)" series, including the WERD's 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 editions on macroeconomic strategies of importance to society namely climate resilience. The partnership with IUU also aligns with our global CSR framework, which prioritises education, youth development, and capacity-building in the financial sector.
