bKash, the best employer and the largest MFS provider in the country, has launched ‘b.Academy’ to make its employees more efficient and future-ready through training and other skill development activities. The first phase of this program has been organized through a week-long ‘Learning Fest’. bKash has taken this initiative as part of its relentless efforts to develop human resources as a responsible corporate entity.
