Housing Bank has organized a “A Day in a Financial Sector Job” event, where they welcomed 30 students from schools across the Kingdom. Held in partnership with INJAZ, the Central Bank of Jordan, Ministry of Education, and the Association of Banks in Jordan, this one-day event is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing financial literacy, in support of the financial education curriculum taught to students in grades 7 through 12.The activity-filled day took place at Housing Bank’s Iskan Young branch within the Housing Bank Park in Abdoun. It offered students a valuable opportunity to experience the banking work environment firsthand, by simulating real-world banking operations.

This initiative reflects Housing Bank’s ongoing commitment to enabling the youth to make informed decisions about their future careers. It aligns with the bank’s social responsibility program, Imkan by Iskan, which focuses on youth empowerment and supporting the education and training sectors in partnership with relevant civil society institutions.

During the day, students were given the chance to observe a range of banking operations and learn about the roles and responsibilities of different departments within the bank. This hands-on experience helped students gain a clearer understanding of the banking profession, the skills required, and the career opportunities available in the sector.

This one-day activity is part of a wider series of initiatives by Housing Bank aimed at enhancing the knowledge and skills of young people. Notably, “Job Shadowing in the Financial Sector” is a key component of the financial literacy curriculum implemented in schools by INJAZ in partnership with the Central Bank of Jordan, Ministry of Education, and the Association of Banks in Jordan. The program seeks to connect students with the banking sector, raise awareness of available career paths, and emphasize the importance of the financial industry.
