Burgan Bank completes summer training program

Burgan Bank recently held a graduation ceremony to mark the conclusion of its annual summer training program. 47 students participated in this program, which aimed to develop their talents and introduce them to the world of banking, which is one of the key sectors of the Kuwait economy.
Students aged between 15 and 19 years old were split into two groups, each group undergoing extensive two-week training. The course was divided into a week of classroom theory and another week of practical execution. Throughout the program, participants got to visit the head office vault, the Private Banking and Treasury department, as well as the call center.
A key component of the internship program was to induct students about basic banking operations, and Burgan Bank’s wide range of products and services. Students received the chance to develop their creativity, understand the basics of successful customer services, and finally, they were trained on how to write winning resumes.
The students celebrated the completion of their training in a prestigious ceremony hosted by Burgan Bank, where Ms. Halah El Shirbini, Burgan Bank’s Chief Human Resources and Development Officer gave a motivational speech in congratulations to the graduates. The bank’s Chief Retail Banking Officer, Ms. Muneera AL Mukhaizeem was also present and distributed certificates of completion.
Burgan Bank continues to embrace an active role in its contributions towards the Kuwaiti social fabric. The bank continuously holds summer training programs with an objective to foster and encourage future leaders and talent working across the banking sector.
