Gulf Bank, one of the largest banks in Kuwait, is taking steps to deliver a training program for its employees. The Zurich-based startup Sparkademy is an edtech startup that offers an adaptive, effective, and scalable learning experience to the corporate world. In partnership with Sparkaademy, which will train a selected group of Kuwaiti Gulf Bank employees, providing them with the knowledge, innovative frameworks, tools, material, and market trends required to propel the bank’s digital transformation forward. The program will teach the Gulf Bank team to apply innovative frameworks, fitting seamlessly into Gulf Bank’s 2025 Strategic Foundation to foster a performance-driven culture based on meritocracy and engagement.
