Doha Bank partners with QFBA for Kafa’a

DOHA: Doha Bank yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Qatar Finance Business Academy (QFBA), Qatar’s national leader and partner of choice for professional finance and business training, to develop an education and competency framework under which QFBA will offer specialized training courses to Doha Bank employees.
The agreement makes Doha Bank the first bank in Qatar to sign up for the implementation of Kafa’a - a first-of-its-kind training and competency framework introduced by QFBA for the banking and finance sector in the GCC region - to develop the skills of its employees. Launched in October 2015 with a goal to raise competency levels across the financial services sector, Kafa’a aims to standardize a stringent set of world-class competency development benchmarks and targeted training programs to achieve best practices and address industry needs.
Under the terms of the agreement, QFBA will offer a comprehensive range of training courses to pre-identified Doha Bank staff teams in addition to designing and implementing specialized Career Development Labs aimed at developing the leadership, techno-functional and behavioral competencies of Doha Bank employees.
