As part of its strategy to nurture and develop young talent, Capital Bank has launched “Capital Academy” in collaboration with the Institute of Banking Studies. The Academy is designed to prepare and empower fresh graduates by equipping them with the skills needed to succeed in today’s fast-changing banking and digital landscape.

Through its Business and Data tracks, Capital Academy aims to attract top graduates from Jordanian and international universities and prepare them through a comprehensive program that combines theoretical learning, practical application, and hands-on training across different departments of the bank. The goal is to strengthen their technical, personal, and professional skills and enable them to integrate effectively into the banking workforce.

The Business track consists of four key stages, starting with specialized technical training. This covers core areas such as banking fundamentals, systems, regulations and compliance, excellence in sales and service, digital transformation and digital banking, as well as corporate and retail banking services and treasury basics.

The program also includes an intensive boot camp to build personal and behavioral skills. Participants are trained in growth mindset and self-awareness, persuasion and influence, presentation and public speaking, emotional intelligence, effective communication and workplace etiquette, customer-focused thinking, teamwork and collaboration, stress management, and building strong professional relationships and personal identity.

The Data and Artificial Intelligence track is designed to equip young talent with practical skills in data analysis, AI, and emerging technologies. Training combines workshops, hands-on experience with the bank’s data team, and a specialized program in generative AI. The first cohort of this track includes five graduates who have already begun their training in data analysis, GenAI tools, and applying analytical thinking in day-to-day work. This initiative marks a key milestone in the bank’s journey toward sustainable digital transformation.

Commenting on the launch, Haya Abu Ata, Chief Human Resources Officer at Capital Bank, highlighted the importance of investing in youth and human capital as the backbone of future growth and development. She noted that empowering employees goes beyond knowledge transfer, requiring a practical and engaging environment that refines skills and creates promising career opportunities. She added that Capital Academy was designed as an innovative learning platform that supports the bank’s vision of preparing a new generation of banking and digital professionals capable of keeping pace with rapid changes and contributing to the future of the financial sector both locally and regionally.

These initiatives reflect Capital Bank’s commitment to supporting economic and social development by investing in youth and human resources, while creating career pathways that align with digital transformation and focus on meaningful, practical training.
