HSBC Qatar has recruited five candidates under its Graduates Programme, tailored to identify and develop local talent as future leaders in the banking and finance industry.
The five candidates include Nadia al-Khater, Jassem al-Saigal, Yousef al-Rayes, Halema al-Harbi, and Fahad al-Khater.
“Our approach to nationalisation is in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 and is a priority for HSBC in Qatar. We strive to invest in local talent and develop Qataris as future leaders in HSBC,” said Abdul Hakeem Mostafawi, CEO, HSBC in Qatar. “The five candidates are exceptional talents and we are thrilled to welcome them as part of our team.”
The Graduates Programme spans 18 to 24 months and includes extensive on-the-job training with opportunities to work in different business areas within the bank. The new recruits will also have mentors within the business who will guide them and support their personal and career development.
The current recruits started their training with a three-day induction in the United Kingdom. During this time, they were introduced to the company’s values structure, business conduct and strategy. They were part of a large group of graduates from all over the world who joined
the programme over the summer.
The five successful candidates joined different business areas in the bank. Jassem al-Saigal and Yousef al-Rayes both joined the commercial banking business, Fahad al-Khater joined the global banking and markets business, while Nadia al-Khater and Halema al-Harbi are part of the retail banking and wealth management business.
“HSBC offers a solid foundation to their careers, based on strong corporate values that talented, ambitious individuals can benefit from for a longstanding and prosperous career. We look forward to working with all five of our new graduates,” the CEO added.
