Al Salam Bank has launched the 17th edition of its annual summer internship program for graduates. The two-month program welcomes 29 students from various reputable local and international universities, providing them with practical experience and mentorship opportunities to support their future careers.
The program has been thoughtfully designed to equip interns with a unique training experience encompassing extensive vocational and educational sessions from the Bank’s various departments. Al Salam Bank aims to hone the skills of this year’s participants, comprising of 16 female and 13 male graduates, to enter the competitive job market. In addition to practical training assignments, the interns will undergo group projects overseen by experienced in-house mentors. The winning team will be rewarded based on their innovative solutions designed to enhance the services provided by Al Salam Bank.
As part of their training experience, the interns will have the opportunity to visit Bahrain Bourse to gain firsthand insights into the workings of the stock market and its role in the banking sector. Through this visit, the Bank also aims to deepen the graduates’ understanding of the dynamics of working in local financial markets and the financial sector.
Commenting on the occasion, Ms. Muna Al Balooshi, Head of Human Resources and Administration at Al Salam Bank, said: “As part of our social responsibility commitment, Al Salam Bank is dedicated to enacting change in the community in which we operate. We continue to invest in the Kingdom’s youth with possibilities to nurture and refine their skills to enhance their future career paths. Through our summer internship program, we aim to provide graduates with well-rounded training that prepares them for successful careers in the banking industry. We believe in investing in the future of local talent, recognizing them as the Kingdom’s greatest asset.”
The summer internship program is a testament to the Bank’s ongoing dedication to supporting Bahraini youth, as well as its efforts to cultivate their professional skills and expertise in line with the needs of the local job market. Al Salam Bank strives to launch comprehensive initiatives that equip youth with the necessary tools to thrive in their future careers.
