Boubyan Bank Concludes University Students Training Program

Boubyan Bank concluded its field training program, organized during the summer holidays under the “Bader Wa Yana” project in collaboration with the Public Authority for Youth Affairs, with the participation of several university and institute students under the Authority’s care. The initiative is part of joint efforts to develop their skills and prepare them for professional life. The program provided participants with the opportunity to gain direct insight into the banking work environment through the bank’s various channels, via a series of field experiences and practical tasks that contributed to enhancing their capabilities, introducing them to professional communication mechanisms, and helping them understand customer needs and service delivery, thereby broadening their horizons and assisting them in discovering their potential and professional interests.

Commenting on this, Adel Al-Humaid, General Manager of the Human Resources Group at Boubyan Bank, said: “The program is an extension of Boubyan’s approach to investing in Kuwaiti youth by providing training opportunities that offer them practical knowledge of work requirements and better prepare them to launch their careers.” He added: “Boubyan is committed to supporting young national talents, especially university and institute students, through initiatives that provide a suitable environment for learning and experimentation, enabling them to develop and refine the practical and personal skills necessary to build successful and promising career paths, keep pace with labor market demands, and adapt to the rapid transformations in the banking sector.”

Al-Humaid emphasized that continuing cooperation with the Public Authority for Youth Affairs for the fourth consecutive year reflects the integration of efforts among national institutions to provide high-quality opportunities for youth, helping them maximize their potential and enhance their readiness for active participation in the labor market and to support Kuwait’s development journey.

For his part, Abdulaziz Al-Roumi, Assistant General Manager of the Human Resources Group at Boubyan Bank, said: “We believe that field training represents an important stage in youth preparation, as it offers them the opportunity to transition from academic knowledge to practical application and gain experiences that contribute to building their professional identity and boosting their confidence in their abilities, thereby helping them form a clearer vision of their future career paths.” He added: “The program was keen to provide a practical experience that gives participants a broader understanding of the nature of institutional work, by involving them in a range of daily tasks and introducing them to banking operational mechanisms.” He noted that their engagement throughout the various stages of the program contributed to developing several core skills, including time management, teamwork, accountability, and flexibility in dealing with different situations.

Al-Roumi concluded by affirming that the program is part of a community partnership aimed at supporting and caring for the children of the Authority, in line with Boubyan’s values and its focus on empowering youth. He confirmed the bank’s continued commitment to developing and supporting initiatives that provide them with practical learning opportunities and skill development in preparation for their professional futures.
