CCE-AUK and Gulf Bank Collaborate on Ajyal 9th Edition: Shaping the Future of Banking Excellence

Inspired by the collective vision of maintaining a robust sustainability program that contributes towards achieving the New Kuwait Vision 2035, the Center for Continuing Education (CCE) at AUK and Gulf Bank have continued their collaborative journey through the unique flagship annual development program, “AJYAL”.  
 
The Ajyal Program commenced its 9th edition, a six-month comprehensive learning journey, aiming to help learners develop key banking skills, cultivating high performing, holistic bankers who are at the focus of the bank’s long-term growth strategy by demonstrating promising potential on both personal and professional levels.  
 
The objective of the program is to foster a performance-driven culture (PEOPLE), introduce technology solutions to enable a bank-wide digital transformation (TECHNOLOGY), and adopt world-class risk management practices (RISK), which in turn, would add value to the bank’s vision. 
 
Following the success of Ajyal 7 and 8, the Center continues to resound its motto “Learning never ends” by designing an enhanced curriculum which corresponds to Gulf Bank’s Ajyal core competencies. This curriculum is delivered through CCE’s reputable professors and facilitators who employ creative learning methodologies, ideas, and strategies to empower participants to become future leaders.   
 
Ms. Amal Al-Binali, AUK executive vice president, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, “AUK's partnership with Gulf Bank isn’t just a collaboration; it is a testament to the University’s leading role in Kuwait's educational transformation. AUK is at the forefront of supporting educators and local talents, equipping them with the tools needed to enhance their skills and keep them up to date with the fast-changing banking industry.” 
 
Ms. Nehal El Shafei, CCE director, commented on the program and what it entails, “From concept to completion, we are delighted to support Gulf Bank in delivering this innovative program designed with an integrated and interactive approach that provides participants with distinct and all-inclusive skill sets for promising talents at Gulf Bank.”  
 
AUK is an institution deeply rooted in its unwavering commitment to education and the ceaseless pursuit of knowledge. The University serves as a conduit for educational outreach, disseminating knowledge and expertise to the world at large.
