QNB has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Qatar Banking Studies and Business Administration Independent Secondary School for Boys (QBSBAS) to help train the school’s students across the bank’s divisions.
The MoU was signed on behalf of the QBSBAS school for boys by Ahmed Yousef al- Mahmoud, principal of the school, and on behalf of QNB by Nada Ahmed al-Ansari, executive manager of QNB’s Centre of Excellence.
The new MoU is a continuation of the great co-operation between QNB and QBSBAS, marking the bank’s continued co-operation with this important educational institution, to which QNB provides full support, including the bank’s sponsorship of the school and its attendance of all the school’s events.
The agreement is based on three main parts, which are QNB’s acceptance of supervised visits by QBSBAS students to the bank’s branches and divisions to observe the banking work environment and operations, the provision of training sessions to the students in order to introduce them to the world of banking and teach them the basic banking processes and procedures as well as job shadowing sessions with QNB staff, to help them in their future careers, and QNB’s provision of banking lessons at the school to the students to give them an insight into the world of banking and finance.
Co-operation under the new MoU is currently proceeding, with the QBSBAS boys school having organised a visit to QNB premises for a number of students over three days, during which they were welcomed in the Group’s offices and taken on an introductory tour by QNB staff and management. The students were shown the working environment inside the bank’s offices and were given a basic introduction to banking operations.
QNB Group always strives to provide support to QBSBAS and many other educational institutions in Qatar and across its international footprint as part of its commitment to the betterment of local communities.
