AUB concludes training program for students

Bank equips students with different banking transaction knowledge

KUWAIT CITY, Sept 19: Ahli United Bank (AUB) announced the completion of its summer internal training program for university students. The program, which was held in partnership with LoYAC Kuwait, comes as part of the Bank’s undertaking to reinforce its role across the community through helping young professionals achieve their potential. In addition, the program reflects AUB’s underlying strategic approach to help support the educational sector and provide theoretical as well as practical learning experience.

AUB welcomed seven university students in an internal training drive that was rolled out over six weeks. The main elements of the program focused on providing awareness of Islamic banking and an explanation of the various banking departments that operate within AUB so as to introduce a wide range of business practices that are related to the banking industry.

The first stage of the training focused primarily on principles of banking that are Shari’ah compliant. An update on a range of products and services that AUB currently offers was provided along with reinforcing the trainees’ professional communications skills. Moreover, a range of customer service tactics was also introduced as part of the training. The training program also exposed students to a broad array of applications and programs that are helpful for their professional future careers.

Practical

The final component of the program focused on equipping students with the knowledge around different banking transactions, during which they worked in a number of AUB’s departments and have been trained throughout multiple branches across Kuwait, in an effort to receive more practical training.

In a press release, Naqeeb Amin, AUB’s Human Resources General Manager said, “AUB aims to drive and strengthen its overall community contributions that add more value towards supporting young professionals and recent university graduates as they are considered the building blocks of Kuwait’s sustainable future. The Bank is well on its way to implementing its social responsibility strategy by participating in similar programs.”

Amin also noted that “AUB is pleased to extend its partnership with LoYAC Kuwait across a number of activities that have directly resulted in strong results for both organizations. This program will result in exceptional outcomes and will prove to be of value to young professionals’ efforts to sharpen their skills, and ultimately support the community in various fields.”
