The fair was held virtually in cooperation with the Khebra platform, which is the first platform in the Middle East connecting different employers, private universities and young talents in Kuwait. During the fair, the bank provided many job opportunities for the Kuwaiti youth of both genders, in line with its consistent efforts to solicit young national cadres, help them develop their skills and provide a work environment that suits their aspirations and future goals.

This comes in line with the bank's keenness to encourage those graduates to join the banking sector, which plays an instrumental role in developing the Kuwaiti economy."
Through this participation, NBK provided the youth with the opportunity to learn about the nature of work in the bank, and available career areas, in addition to familiarizing them with the available training opportunities to develop their skills, he added.
Enezi noted that the bank's participation in this fair is an important opportunity for the youth and fresh graduates seeking to navigate their career paths, as it provides them with an opportunity to learn about the needs and characteristics of the labor market, and helps them choose the suitable job for their qualifications and aspirations.
