FINANCE OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS AT SQU CAREER FAIR
Muscat, March 2014 – HSBC Bank Oman S.A.O.G. showcased the wide range of career
paths available in the banking industry to more than 15,000 students at this year’s Sultan
Qaboos University Career and Training Opportunities Fair. The annual event, organised by
the SQU Centre for Career Guidance, allowed HSBC Bank Oman to connect directly with
Omani students and discover potential candidates for the Bank’s Graduate Training
Programme.
Ali Al Abri, General Manager and Country Head of Human Resources, HSBC Bank Oman,
said, “Participating in the SQU Career Fair gives us a great opportunity to establish direct
contact with students and graduates as they take the next steps to becoming Oman’s future
industry leaders. Understanding the aspirations of young Omanis has allowed us to gain an
insight into their skills and preferences. This helps us build and tailor our in-house training
programmes more appropriately, to support graduates in reaching their potential, and helping
to attract local talent to the bank as part of our ongoing commitment to nationalisation.”
HSBC Bank Oman’s exhibition stand was manned by three graduate trainees who had
recently joined HSBC Bank Oman, and who shared their experiences so far and offered
students an insight into the academic choices required for a career in banking. The Bank will
launch its next graduate intake soon and will once again work closely with each candidate to
match their career aspirations to opportunities available in HSBC Bank Oman.
HSBC Bank Oman combines its extensive local knowledge and global expertise to support
the growing local talent pool in a rapidly-expanding and competitive job market. As it
continues on its journey to become the leading bank in Oman, HSBC Bank Oman is
committed to continuing to build connections with academic institutions to help develop
students for future careers in Oman’s banking sector.
