BBK relaunches training plan for Bahraini graduates
MANAMA, 6 hours, 22 minutes ago
BBK, a leading bank in the Middle East, has announced the relaunch of its management trainee development programme, as part of its ongoing talent development and succession planning strategy.
The bank has developed this programme to identify and foster future leaders in the banking Industry, reported the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.
This year, 18 Bahraini graduates have been selected though a rigorous assessment process, out of a total 400 applicants.
The recruited candidates have graduated from highly-reputed local and international universities with high grades and have exhibited leadership skills and capabilities, which is one of the key components for success in the programme.
“BBK’s commitment to developing its employees and nurturing the banking expertise in young Bahrainis has always been part of its vision – aligned with the vision of the country,” said BBK chief executive Abdulkarim Bucheery.
“We proudly praise this programme, as it has proven very successful, with early entrants from previous years now occupying senior positions in the bank,” he said.
The Management Trainee Development Programme has been relaunched for the seventh time since inception in 2004 and with the 18 new candidates recently selected, it brings the total number of graduates to nearly 120.
The programme gives an in-depth training in all areas of banking over a period of several months, starting from September 1, in two phases – a comprehensive training programme at BIBF and on-the-job training at the bank.
The training programme at BIBF is scheduled to last four months, and will focus on providing participants with training in the areas of business ethics, financial analysis, international markets, business planning, international financing, project management and a number of other topics that improve skills and capabilities in the field of banking and finance.
The second part of the programme will commence, after the candidates have successfully completed the training programme at BIBF.
They will join BBK in the beginning of 2015, where they will undergo a job-rotation programme in relevant functions related to their assigned department and according to the business needs.
“BBK, through this programme, will contribute to the talent pool of the kingdom in the area of banking and financial services, and we are confident that the bank will continue to be the employer of choice, providing young Bahrainis the tools and expertise for a brighter life enabling them to contribute to the economy and the prosperity of the nation,” said BBK Human Resources and Administration assistant general manager Hassaan Burshaid. – TradeArabia News Service
