The Commercial International Bank (CIB) and the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) have partnered to equip young Kenyan professionals with world-class banking skills through the CIB East Africa Credit Analyst Program.
The fully sponsored initiative, which has successfully trained finance professionals in Egypt for over 30 years, is now expanding its reach in Kenya.
The program provides hands-on training in credit assessment, lending decisions, and financial risk analysis, positioning local graduates for success in both domestic and international banking sectors.
CIB Kenya CEO Abhinav Nehra stated that the program’s broader mission is beyond training.
“The banking industry is evolving rapidly, requiring a new generation of professionals who are dynamic, globally aware, and technically skilled. We at CIB, we believe in investing in people. This program isn’t just about training-it’s about unlocking potential, shaping careers, and building the future of banking in Kenya and beyond. Our commitment goes beyond financial services; it’s about developing the next generation of African leaders in finance,” he said,
KBA CEO Raimond Molenje noted the growing demand for top-tier finance professionals.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Kenyan graduates to gain industry-leading expertise and practical experience in banking. The demand for top-tier financial professionals is growing, and this initiative ensures that we are equipping our youth with the right tools to excel, not just locally, but on a global stage,” he stated.
The program has already seen 39 graduates from trial cohorts in 2020 and 2023 with applications now open for interested candidates.
