One of the highlights of the internship included a field trip to The Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (the Arab Fund). Civil Engineer at the Arab Fund Fawaz Al Haj has received and welcomed the interns.

Al Haj said that this visit reflects the mutual cooperation between NBK & the Arab Fund. Al Haj spoke to the interns about the Arab Fund's activities which are characterized by a number of important aspects that make it a model of cooperation and Arab economic integration, and a reflection of outstanding joint Arab action.

“NBK’s Summer Internship Program is an extension of our educational outreach services,” said Al Turki. “NBK has a long standing commitment to the development of Kuwait’s youth and this program demonstrates our dedication to providing appropriate opportunities for youth to gain hands on work experience”, Al Turki added.
