ShareKUWAIT: As part of its various initiatives to embed the principles of sustainability in society, and as part of its strategic partnership with INJAZ Kuwait, Gulf Bank concluded two workshops for high school and university students, with the aim of supporting youth and preparing them for the future work environment.
Kuwait English School (KES) hosted an Innovation Camp workshop for beginners, with the participation of about 100 students, in an atmosphere full of enthusiasm to find innovative solutions to challenges using analysis, creativity and teamwork. The trainers, who were volunteers from Gulf Bank, guided these students to complete their assignments and encouraged them to think about achieving their career goals. As for the second, Kuwait College of Science and Technology (KCST) hosted a workshop entitled “How do I start?,” where about 40 students participated in three different training courses. The courses were led by volunteers from Gulf Bank, covering various topics such as: Writing CVs, the art of conducting interviews, and all they need to know about the internship period.
On this occasion, Assistant Manager of Corporate Communications, Maysoon Sabah Al-Attar, said: “The various workshops organized by INJAZ Kuwait with Gulf Bank staff volunteers, contribute to supporting and developing the skills of young people at high school and university levels. We do this to ensure the preparation of these students for the post-graduation stage of their lives, making them more confident to enter the labor market.”
