Doha Bank, the leading private sector bank in Qatar, participated in Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar’s Professional Day 2013, at the university’s campus in Qatar Education City.
Professional Day is CMU-Qatar’s annual career and networking fair. Normally held in March each year, Professional Day is an opportunity for students interested in full-time positions or summer internships to connect with representatives of some of today’s leading companies. Doha Bank participated in the event to help students discover new opportunities for personal growth through a rewarding career at Doha Bank. The one-day programme allowed students to submit their CVs for consideration by the bank’s human resources department.
Doha Bank Group CEO Dr R Seetharaman said: “Doha Bank is committed to supporting the State of Qatar’s drive to develop a comprehensive knowledge-based society that will drive future sustainability. The bank believes this is a key investment that public and private sector organisations should make to help build this knowledge base and support the youth of today. We are therefore honoured to be participating in the Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar’s annual Professional Day.”
Doha Bank offers graduates numerous development programmes to attract young talent and develop them into leaders of tomorrow. The Banking Trainee Programme, for example, grooms graduates to take on daily responsibilities, inclusive of executive mentorship and active experience in the bank’s operational units. This includes classroom training, on-the-job training and e-learning opportunities offered by the human resources department.
Doha Bank also provides opportunities for high school students who wish to continue their education under the bank’s scholarship.
The duration of the scholarship extends to four to five years for university studies and two to three years for diplomas. Majors accepted for the scholarship programme include information technology, business administration, accounting, finance & banking, as well as law, marketing and human resources. Other fields related to core functions of banking are also considered. The Peninsula
