Al Salam Bank recently welcomed a delegation of 20 high school students from Ibn Khuldoon National School (IKNS) at the Bank’s headquarters. The visit aimed to provide the students with an in-depth look into the banking industry’s workflow, as well as familiarize them with operational mechanisms by highlighting the basics of Islamic banking and its contrast to traditional banking methods. To further develop the school’s vocational efforts, a number of specialists also gave a comprehensive overview of the Bank’s daily operations.
During the field trip, the Bank introduced the CBB’s role as one of the main regulators in the industry, in addition to answering any questions the students had. The students also participated in an interactive exercise where they were required to form a company, identify their roles and implement a profitable strategy. The exercise enabled the students to hone their planning skills, as well as learn the importance of collaboration and synergy.
