KIB Empowers Youth Professionally

Kuwait International Bank (KIB) concluded its participation in the fifth edition of the “Waditi” (My Job) exhibition, reaffirming its commitment to supporting youth and graduates and helping them explore promising career paths in the banking sector.

This year’s edition attracted a group of outstanding Grade 12 students from the Canadian Bilingual School, alongside an interactive experience powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help exhibition visitors discover job opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations.

Commenting on the bank’s continued participation in the event, Hadi Hadi, Acting General Manager of Human Resources at KIB, said: “Our participation for the fourth consecutive year in Kuwait’s largest and most prominent job fair reflects our belief that Kuwaiti youth form the cornerstone of the country’s future development, and our ongoing commitment to enhancing their capabilities and preparing them for the labor market. At KIB, we continuously strive to engage with ambitious young talent, introduce them to the diverse career paths available in the banking sector, and equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary for success. We are proud to participate again in this important national initiative, which brings together leading employers and the next generation of national talent.”

Over the three days of the exhibition, KIB’s human resources team received job seekers at the bank’s booth, introduced them to available vacancies, and provided information about the work environment and professional development opportunities. The team also highlighted the importance of responsible financial practices, in line with the national “Be Aware” campaign launched by the Central Bank of Kuwait in collaboration with the Kuwait Banks Association and local banks.

The bank offered visitors the opportunity to undergo an interactive experience to identify their professional profiles using AI. Through an interactive platform equipped with illuminated buttons, participants answered a series of short questions related to their skills, interests, and workplace preferences. Within one to two minutes, the platform generated a customized professional profile for each participant, including suggestions for career paths that suit their potential, as well as identifying available opportunities at the bank that may align with their professional profile.

In this regard, Hadi explained: “KIB is committed to adopting innovative approaches that enable young talent to discover job opportunities that match their capabilities. Our AI-powered interactive experience at the exhibition provided a new way to explore professional interests and identify potential career paths. By combining technology with the expertise of our team, we aimed to make the recruitment experience more interactive and informative, helping candidates discover opportunities that align with their abilities and aspirations.”
