As part of its continuous efforts to provide job opportunities to local youth, and in order to consolidate its position as the leading Kuwaiti Bank of the Future, Gulf Bank has announced its platinum sponsorship of the Australian University Career Fair, which was held from October 16-17.

As part of their participation in the fair, Gulf Bank representatives shed light on the nature of the workplace at the Bank and provided a detailed explanation of the work mechanisms and job opportunities available for recent graduates. In addition, Gulf Bank representatives conducted personal interviews for the applicants.

Gulf Bank’s booth at the career fair attracted a large number of male and female students who were interested in getting more information about Gulf Bank’s various departments and work culture, encouraged by the positive reputation that Gulf Bank boasts as one of the most prominent employers of young talent in the local financial sector.

As a testament to its continuous support for sustainability programs, the bank participated in the career fair through an eco-friendly booth that was made entirely of recycled materials. The Gulf Bank team participated in the Australian University’s planting activity in which students and employees planted about 300 trees as a practical contribution to preserving the environment.

Under the “Green Kuwait” motto, students received plants as gifts, and all applications and job interviews were conducted in paperless form.

On this occasion, Gulf Bank’s General Manager of Human Resources, Salma Al-Hajjaj, said: "Gulf Bank is proud to sponsor the Australian University’s Career Fair as part of our continuous efforts to support young Kuwaiti talent as one of the largest employers of local youth in the private and banking sector.”

Gulf Bank is keen to attract young talents across various fields, as local youth are the generation that is capable of keeping pace with the latest innovations and the rapid digital development in the banking sector both locally and globally.

Al-Hajjaj affirmed the Bank’s keenness to support the national development plan, “New Kuwait 2035” Vision, which targets employment in the private sector and the development of Kuwaiti youth. In keeping with the national development plan, Gulf Bank has been witnessing increasing growth rates in national employment in recent years.
