Under the patronage of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah, and in the presence of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to Washington, Jassem Al-Budaiwi, and a wide group of students, Gulf Bank has concluded its participation at the thirty-eighth annual conference of the National Union of Kuwaiti Students (NUKS) in the United States of America, as the strategic banking partner.

During their participation in the conference, which had the slogan “Young people transcend the nation”, Gulf Bank representatives shed light on the nature of the banking business. They also gave a detailed explanation of the work mechanisms and job opportunities available to students, and the services provided by the bank to clients, especially to the youth segment. Gulf Bank employees met a large number of students wishing to work in Gulf Bank after graduation, as it is one of the most prominent employers attracting young talents in Kuwait.

On this occasion, Gulf Bank’s General Manager of Human Resources, Salma Al-Hajjaj, commented: “Kuwait’s youth are the pillar of the future, and the source of talent needed for the development of Kuwait and its economy. Therefore, Gulf Bank placed youth as a main focus in its 2025 strategy. Kuwait Vision 2035 also focuses on youth, while including a set of pillars, with the most important being the creative human capital, which is in line with the conference's motto "Youth that transcends the nation".

Al-Hajjaj urged the youth to exert a lot of effort in studying and learning, and to arm themselves with all the elements of modern science in preparation for returning to the country and joining the labor market, especially in the private sector, which is always looking for competent and talented employees.

She stated that Gulf Bank is keen to provide many employment opportunities for students participating in the conference, as part of its ongoing Social Sustainability Program, which focuses on supporting Kuwaiti youth inside and outside the country.

Al-Hajjaj added that Gulf Bank, being a preferred employer for Kuwaiti youth, was also keen this year to provide job opportunities for male and female students on scholarships participating in the conference, ensuring that they return home with the job they dream of, in a wonderful work environment, and great opportunities for development and gaining experience.

She pointed out that Gulf Bank has had distinguished relations with NUKS-USA for 10 consecutive years, pointing out that the bank views this annual conference, being one of the largest gatherings of Kuwaiti students outside the country, as an opportunity to be present among them, share their events, and keep abreast of their future directions and aspirations.

She pointed out that Gulf Bank did not come to the conference with job opportunities only, but also with several surprises and gifts for the participating students, especially the students who had incurred the trouble of traveling from various states to attend the conference, pointing out that the bank had a raffle on tickets from various US states to Los Angeles, won by 3 male and 3 female students.
