Bank QNB Indonesia develops financial skills of future leaders
14 November 2024 - PT Bank QNB Indonesia Tbk ("Bank"), a subsidiary of QNB Group, the largest financial institution in Middle East and Africa, took a step forward in supporting the government’s efforts to increase financial literacy and inclusion through a number of community initiatives.
The Bank has recently concluded its “JA Personal Finance” annual training programme in partnership with Prestasi Junior Indonesia, providing financial education for students aged 16 to 17 at SMKN 66 Jakarta and SMK Assa’addah who earned certificates of achievement for successfully completing the course.
The Bank‘s employees delivered the course, transforming complex financial concepts into easy to understand information, using hands-on learning with fun interactive games. Students got the chance to learn about financial planning, budgeting, and basic entrepreneurship.
This initiative is part of the Bank’s annual “QNB Indonesia Goes to School” programme aimed at making a positive impact among students from elementary to high school and vocational school levels across the country.
This support extended beyond providing financial education. In order to ensure better access to education, the Bank also helped to enhance schools’ infrastructure through its PC donation campaign to schools across Jakarta and its greater area.
On the other hand, Bank QNB Indonesia once again organized its annual Management Development Programme, providing young professionals with a two-year mentorship and training experience to prepare them for future leadership roles.
These initiatives do not only help to make a lasting impact in the local community, but they have also empowered the Bank’ employees, who supported students in learning basic financial skills and taking sound financial decision.
“Our commitment at Bank QNB Indonesia goes far beyond banking,” said Nick Groene, Act. President Director of PT Bank QNB Indonesia Tbk. “Empowering local communities is essential to our vision for sustainable growth. We believe that supporting our communities is the foundation of lasting success for both the Bank and the people we serve.
“This year, we are pleased to see a surge in the number of high-quality participants in our Management Development Programme, one of the most competitive programmes for young professionals to prepare future leaders. Thanks to our rigorous selection process, we selected only few candidates who demonstrated exceptional skills and commitment,” added Nick.
Bank QNB Indonesia’s impactful work has earned it top honors. Earlier this year, the Bank was named “The Best Company to Work for in Asia 2024” and the “Most Caring Company 2024” by the prestigious HR Asia Awards.
