Nadia Al Khater, Jassem Al Saigal, Yousef Al Rayes, Halema Al Harbi and Fahad Al Khater joined HSBC Qatar as part of the Graduates Programme. The programme is tailored to identify and develop local talent as future leaders in the banking and finance industry.

“Our approach to nationalisation is in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030 and is a priority for HSBC in Qatar. We strive to invest in local talent and develop Qataris as future leaders in HSBC,” said Abdul Hakeem Mostafawi, CEO of HSBC in Qatar. “The five candidates that were recruited for the Graduates programme are exceptional talents and we are thrilled to welcome them as part of our team,” he added.

The Graduates programme spans 18 to 24 months and includes extensive on-the-job training with opportunities to work in different business areas within the bank. The new recruits will also have mentors within the business who will guide them and support their personal and career development.  The current recruits started their training with a three day induction in the UK. During this time they were introduced to the company’s values structure, business conduct and strategy.
