Our real contribution is reflected in a number of programmes and initiatives geared towards human resources and inspiring them to join the national workforce after completing a certain period of training. This includes the Himam programme, which has opened doors to unique career opportunities to a number of graduates since its launch in 2015. The trainees have been able to build a successfully career in the sector.”
Himam programme aims to develop the skills of new graduates through hands-on and theoretical training and mentoring programmes, providing a unique opportunity to work with the bank's team. The programme focuses on enhancing graduates' banking skills with the support of a group of managers, trainers and specialists.
Under the programme, graduates will be nominated in the first year of on-the-job training in the bank's departments, in accordance with their educational qualifications, skills and job requirements. After completing the second year, the bank honours trainees who have successfully passed the programme and assign them in one of the Bank's departments based on their leadership capabilities and in accordance with the job requirements.
