By providing them with suitable job opportunities and training programs, we help them improve their professional skills and pave the way for their future career goals.” Aldarmi invites all graduates and soon-to-be graduates of Kuwait University to visit the KIB booth at the career fair. A team from the Bank’s Human Resources Department will be present to welcome visitors, introduce them to job opportunities available for young talents, as well as introduce them to the nature of the working in a bank and how to join. At the booth, the KIB team will also provide graduates with valuable advice on how to choose the most suitable career.

It is worth noting that KIB participates in a number of career fairs and exhibitions throughout the year, as part of its leading social responsibility program.
