QNB Group, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, provided its official partnership for the Future Assets Program, a summer programme presented by QFBA aimed to broaden high school students and graduates’ knowledge about the financial sector.
The programme, which targets current high school students and graduates - was designed by various stakeholders from the banking and finance industry to help them explore the financial sector, receive theoretical and practical learning, and help them make career choices in the industry.
This partnership comes as part of the bank’s ongoing efforts to support education as one of its main pillars of Corporate Social Responsibility towards the community and actively support the development of local youth’s interest in a future career in the financial sector.
During the one-week program, students visited a number of professional financial organizations including a site visit to the Bank where they learned about the scholarship opportunities provided by QNB, an overview of how the bank operates and an introduction to different departments within the bank. The visit ended with a site trip to QNB’s branch at Grand Hamad.
Commenting on the partnership, QNB Group Human Capital Senior Executive Vice President Abdulla Nasser Al Khalifa said, “We are very pleased to be an official partner for Future Assets Program as it is an evident marker of QNB’s continuous efforts to be at the forefront of supporting future generation and the youth, as well as our delight to be partnering with QFBA in their programs and projects. We also hope that this program can be engaging and useful for the students and can aid them in their career choice.”
