The occasion took place at Commercial Bank Plaza for interns, who were cited for successful completion of the internship, in the presence of parents and senior management.

This CSR initiative is one of many undertaken by the bank and focuses on empowering the next generation with essential knowledge of retail banking, money management, and the seamless benefits of digital banking.

Through hands-on experiences at Commercial Bank’s premium lounges and flagship branches, participants gained practical insights into financial responsibility and the importance of saving for the future.

The CB Young Bankers programme has solidified its place as a cornerstone of Commercial Bank’s calendar, taking place every July and August.

Commenting on the initiative, Shahnawaz Rashid, executive general manager and head, Retail Banking at Commercial Bank, said, “We believe that with the right support, anything is possible for Qatar’s youth. This programme has been designed to educate the youth about retail banking and financial management, giving them a valuable competitive edge over their peers.”
