Bank of Jordan Participates in the Activities for "Job Shadowing in the Financial Sector"


Date: 10/12/2024

Amman, Jordan – December 2024) – Bank of Jordan has extended its financial and logistical support to the National Financial Education Program, as well as participated in its planned activities. This program is implemented by INJAZ in the Kingdom's schools as part of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the Central Bank of Jordan, and the Association of Banks in Jordan.

Bank of Jordan's support for the program focused on two main areas. The first was the bank’s contribution to the Financial Literacy Program for students. A group of bank employees visited schools in all governorates, including those in the northern, central, and southern regions. The visits took place over several days, where employees engaged with students, educating them about the financial sector and its pivotal role in supporting the national economy. They also provided students with a clear understanding of banking operations, empowering them with the knowledge to make better financial, academic, and professional decisions.

The second area of support involved organizing a career day at the bank's Learning and Development Center, as part of the "Job Shadowing in the Financial Sector" initiative, welcoming students from Khalda Secondary School for Girls. The activity-filled day featured a comprehensive workshop designed to help students explore their future academic and professional paths. Key topics covered included banking fundamentals, career opportunities within the sector, and emerging professions shaped by technological innovations.

This initiative underscores Bank of Jordan’s continued dedication to empowering the youth through education, career development, and connecting them with the job market—providing them with the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed for future success. These activities are part of the bank's broader corporate social responsibility strategy and align with its commitment to environmental, social, and institutional governance standards. The bank seeks to actively contribute to building a generation that is aware of future opportunities and capable of driving sustainable development, particularly in the realm of human development.

This initiative aligns with national educational goals, furthering Bank of Jordan’s mission to involve employees in meaningful volunteer work that benefits the community. This is just one of several initiatives aimed at promoting financial literacy, including school adoption programs and university awareness campaigns.
