Kuwait-20 March 2013:  Gulf Bank recently hosted a Job Shadow day as part of INJAZ Kuwait's Program.  During comprehensive sessions held, 14 students from British School of Kuwait (BSK) received presentations from Gulf Bank personnel about the banking industry and the skills required to succeed in a modern office environment. The day included visits to three different Gulf Bank branches.  The students first visited  the Head Office, where they met with the Bank's Learning and Development Team for a brief introduction about job functions at the Bank.  Each student received a booklet about Gulf Bank's history, vision, promises, and core values to help them better understand how the Bank operates. Following this initial session, students divided into two groups to visit the Bank's Dahiyat Abdullah Al Salem and Nuzha branches, to see firsthand how the Bank interacts with its customers and delivers its services.At the end of the sessions, the students met with the General Manager of Human Resources, Ms. Salma Al Hajjaj, who provided them with some advice and guidance that might help them develop their problem-solving skills and overcome the challenges in different working areas, especially in the banking sector, with the view to encourage them in the future to join Gulf Bank which provides suitable job opportunities for young talents. Moreover, each student was rewarded for completing the session, and a fun competition was held where Students were given the opportunity to answer questions about what they learned and a prize was given to the winner.Gulf Bank's partnership with INJAZ Kuwait on the Job Shadowing program is based on the Bank's 2013 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which is focused on the two critical areas of youth and education. The Job Shadowing  program gives the Bank an opportunity to present itself to Kuwait's future business leaders, increasing their understanding of the banking industry and demonstrating the importance of operating as a team. Gulf Bank looks forward to a building a prosperous future for Kuwait's next generation and by joining forces with INJAZ Kuwait the Bank is confident of achieving great results.
