Global Banking Corporation B.S.C (c) (GBCORP) announces the completion of its 2nd summer internship program as part of its training initiative to develop prospective banking executives of the future.
Twelve young interns studying at universities from around the world were selected to be part of GBCORP’s 2nd summer internship program. The age group of the trainees ranges between 19 and 23 years and they come from the following universities:
• The George Washington University - USA
• University College of Bahrain - Bahrain
• AMA University - Bahrain
• University of Bahrain - Bahrain
• New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) - Bahrain
• Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) - Bahrain
• American University of Beirut - Lebanon
• The Kingdom University - Bahrain
• Ahlia University - Bahrain
GBCORP’s internship program allows trainees the opportunity to develop not only Investment banking industry exposure but also to learn and develop new skills. During the program trainees learnt what it's really like to work in the financial services industry; gaining a unique insight and understanding that cannot be achieved by research alone. They learnt how companies are positioned in the industry, who the big players are, as well as the latest trends and industry forecasts. This all provided the trainees with invaluable experience when considering a career in the financial services industry while also providing opportunities for college students to map out their career paths by gaining hands-on experience, skills and knowledge.
According to Mr. Nabeel Rabeea, Head of Human Resources, GBCORP believes in encouraging and empowering young talents. “We are dedicated to supporting the youth in their quest to contribute effectively in building nations. The summer training program was the right platform where interns could experience the real world and explore career opportunities available to them once they graduate”.
“We were quite impressed by the interaction and professionalism of the young trainees,” added Mr. Rabeea, “and will be looking forward to the next year’s summer program”.
