The bank has been on a rapid growth curve for the last 18 months and is now reaching out to the leaders of tomorrow, offering internships to students from leading universities in Qatar.
"IBQ has seen growth in all areas of business over the last year, and it is important that we keep on investing in our most valuable asset; our employees. The bank has an aggressive expansion plan in the coming years, and in order for us to execute that plan successfully, we need to attract the best talent," said General Manager of IBQ, Mike Williams.
To show IBQ's commitment to students, IBQ's Head of Human Resources Joanne D Scheuch led a team of 4 employees talking to students about opportunities within the Bank. This summer IBQ is looking for a number of interns to work for 6-8 weeks with the Bank.
"We want to give the students a true working experience. They will be working on numerous projects as IBQ team members from day one," said Joanne D Scheuch, Head of Human Resources at IBQ.
The Bank's recruitment process will start April 1st and 3 weeks later those students who successfully apply for the roles will be offered their summer internships.
"As the bank keeps growing human resources development becomes increasingly important, in order for us to meet the needs of our customers. It is imperative that we are present at leading universities to talk to students about their opportunities with the Bank. At IBQ we are putting education on top of our agenda," Mrs. Scheuch said.
