Al Khalij Commercial Bank (al khaliji) P.Q.S.C., Qatar’s next generation bank, has partnered with Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q) for the second consecutive year, to host its financial markets literacy and education workshop ‘Tajer’. The initiative, which targets secondary school students, is part of the Bank’s recruitment program and its continuous efforts to empower Qatari youth as well as develop their skills, to lead the country’s financial industry in the future. The day-long workshop offered students a comprehensive understanding and in-depth insights about financial markets in Qatar. Through its intensive educational training, which combines case studies with on-the-ground applications, the workshop enables attendees to gain valuable knowledge and information about floor trading systems around the world, as well as introducing them to electronic markets by connecting them to cross-border networks. In addition to offering its attendees invaluable face time with faculty members and decision makers in Qatar’s financial industry, ‘Tajer’ updates students on the latest changes in financial markets’ pricing and trading processes, as well as provides them with an opportunity to discover several Carnegie Mellon’s Business Administration programs. The workshop also serves as an ideal platform for Qatari youth to explore future employment opportunities and career prospects at al khaliji, and primes them for being active players in the country’s finance and banking sectors.
