The Award was presented by ASHRM President Mr. Abdulhadi Al-Mansouri and Chairwoman Ms. Huda Al Ghoson.
On the occasion Mrs. Al Hajjaj stated, “The AJYAL Development Program is the Bank’s leading program for youth empowerment, and we aim to nurture young Kuwaiti talent and develop them into holistic professionals, helping mold the students of today into the leaders of tomorrow. The Society’s recognition of our efforts only goes to show how much we dedicate to the youth and their education, one of the core pillars of the Bank’s mission.”

The AJYAL Development Program is an iconic initiative developed by the Bank with the aim to nurture young Kuwaiti talents early in their career, and prepare them for future leadership positions at the Bank. The six-month, intensive training program is designed to cover every facet of banking, from the basic principles such as financial economics, banking laws and regulations, corporate and retail finance to more focused areas such as risk management, anti-money-laundering, banking ethics and customer service.
