This investment in human capital will inevitably help us realize Burgan Bank’s objectives – as well as actively drive growth and development in the economy at large.” 

During their presence at the fair, representatives of Burgan Bank’s Human Resources Department answered all the questions and inquiries of students looking for job opportunities. They also sought to raise awareness amongst the students about the Banking sector, providing them with all information about the nature of work within a bank and the application process at Burgan Bank.

In addition, the Human Resources team held a number of initial job interviews with students for the purpose of appointment in the available jobs at the Bank. Moreover, the Bank is aiming to continue supporting and participating in various career fairs – which continues to be great platforms for acquiring fresh young talents. It is worth noting that Burgan Bank continues to be an ideal career choice for young graduates, given what the bank offers in terms of support, resources and learning and development opportunities specifically designed to help young aspiring bankers enhance their skillsets and expand their knowledge base.
