Housing Bank Organizes a Career Day for School Students in Collaboration with Injaz at the Iskan Young branch
Housing Bank
has organized a “A Day in a Financial Sector Job” event, where they welcomed 30
students from schools across the Kingdom.
Held in partnership with INJAZ, the
Central Bank of Jordan, Ministry of Education, and the Association of Banks in
Jordan, this one-day event is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing
financial literacy, in support of the financial education curriculum taught to
students in grades 7 through 12.The activity-filled day took place at Housing
Bank’s Iskan Young branch within the Housing Bank Park in Abdoun. It offered students
a valuable opportunity to experience the banking work environment firsthand, by
simulating real-world banking operations.
This
initiative reflects Housing Bank’s ongoing commitment to enabling the youth to make
informed decisions about their future careers. It aligns with the bank’s social
responsibility program, Imkan by Iskan, which focuses on youth empowerment and
supporting the education and training sectors in partnership with relevant
civil society institutions.
During the day,
students were given the chance to observe a range of banking operations and
learn about the roles and responsibilities of different departments within the
bank. This hands-on experience helped students gain a clearer understanding of
the banking profession, the skills required, and the career opportunities
available in the sector.
This one-day
activity is part of a wider series of initiatives by Housing Bank aimed at
enhancing the knowledge and skills of young people. Notably, “Job Shadowing in
the Financial Sector” is a key component of the financial literacy curriculum
implemented in schools by INJAZ in partnership with the Central Bank of Jordan,
Ministry of Education, and the Association of Banks in Jordan. The program
seeks to connect students with the banking sector, raise awareness of available
career paths, and emphasize the importance of the financial industry.
