QIIB recently hosted two groups of students from Qatar Academy at a “Professional Day”, within the framework of the Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility, whereby it is committed to different activities that serve the society, mainly in education. 

As part of their visit to the QIIB, the Qatar Academy students visited different bank departments, where senior executives detailed to them the various Islamic banking operations, customer service, information systems, types of banking services, accounts and issues relating to cheques. 

QIIB Chief Executive Officer Mr Abdulbasit Ahmed al-Shaibei personally met the students and welcomed them to the bank. 

He said, “The young people are the very basis of our hope. We are all relying on this generation to achieve more growth, prosperity and progress for our beloved country, Qatar.” 

The Chief Executive Officer reminded the students that success is the fruit of commitment and often bears out of a strong personality. 

“This can be achieved when we are always ready to do our best in order to succeed and seek and acquire information and gain experiences from our classrooms at different stages of education. In addition to our life experiences especially those that are narrated to students by our teachers and professors, practical activities as part of the curriculum have a great impact and get rooted in our minds.” 

Furthermore, the students met a number of the bank executives handling various tasks ranging from development to information and interacted with them. The students were briefed about the staffing requirements and qualifications sought by the bank for its various positions when these become available.   

The students and their accompanying supervisors expressed their heartfelt gratitude and thanked QIIB for the cordial welcome extended to them and other facilities offered to them during the Professional Day. 

They acknowledged that the visit to QIIB was fruitful and that they could gather valuable knowledge relating to banking, particularly Shariah-compliant banking pursued by QIIB.
