Burgan Bank Organizes Hands-On Training Program for Young Kuwaiti Professionals

Burgan Bank recently hosted a group of undergraduate students to take part in a developmental journey across the Bank’s different departments. This initiative brought together 20 Kuwaiti students from the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), the Public Authority of Manpower, as well as private universities in  Kuwait, and abroad, who completed a program of on-ground training covering multiple functions and roles.

During the training program, the trainees were able to acquire knowledge about the latest methods and models adopted in both the strategic and operational fields of banking management and organization. The program’s goal was providing them with the opportunity to train on the curriculum requirements needed for graduating, as well as to help them gain experience and professional skills through hands-on practice and interaction with staff from various departments.

Commenting on this initiative, Ms. Zahra Boarki, Development Manager at Burgan Bank, said “We are glad to facilitate and host this important training that boosts the educational development of young professionals. The practical training that the participants received at the Bank combined fundamental theoretical knowledge and specialized applied practice, in addition to including separate targeted plans for each banking division”. 

Boarki added: “Burgan Bank is keen on supporting the efforts of various local and international  academic and training institutions, through cooperation on initiatives designed to develop Kuwait’s talented youth. Our strategy has always focused on leveraging our position as an experienced, well-established national financial institution with a well-renowned team of banking experts and a wealth of knowledge to actively contribute to building the next generation of thought leaders and innovators within the banking sector.”

Burgan Bank continues to implement its comprehensive strategy eyeing the development of Kuwait’s human capital and the empowerment of young talents through various programs and initiatives. It continues to support the country’s national education sector, asserting its role as a leading institution which is invested in guiding the next generation towards a great future. 

The Bank is also committed to applying the same approach internally with its human resources, aiming at effectively driving its growth and progression, as well as generally advancing the banking sector in Kuwait.
