Date: 11/08/2010 thru 11/12/2010
Location: Georgetown College Conference and Training Center, Georgetown KY
Event Contact: awhitaker@kybanks.com

The Purpose & Mission
The purpose and mission of the Essentials of Banking School is to provide bankers with:

A theoretical foundation of banking principles;
An understanding of balance sheet activities; and
An awareness of the bank in its competitive and regulatory environment.

The school’s goals are to broaden the bank employee’s understanding of the factors affecting bank profitability and to enhance the employee’s value to their institution. The school also serves as a prerequisite for the advanced curriculum of the General Banking School.

Who Should Attend
The Essentials of Banking School is designed specifically for:
The New Bank Employee
This individual may or may not have a college background. They are new to the industry and will benefit from a program that introduces them to the banking industry from a practical perspective.

The Experienced Bank Employee
This individual is someone who has been with the bank for several years and has not had the time or opportunity to take advantage of banking education programs, AIB or college related courses. This individual knows his or her job well but may lack knowledge of how the whole bank and financial system interact.

The Bank Employee Who is Just Beginning Their Education Program
This individual is someone who plans to attend the Kentucky Bankers Association’s (KBA) advanced 200 level General Banking School but needs to complete the prerequisite courses in Accounting, Money and Banking, or Principles of Banking. Successful completion of the Essentials of Banking School satisfies these prerequisite requirements.

Benefits of Attending
The curriculum consists of practical classroom sessions and experience with a computer-generated bank simulation. Through this hands-on practical training, bankers will gain:

An increased understanding and appreciation of all functions within the bank, allowing participants to contribute more effectively to their bank.
An understanding of banking’s role in the financial services industry.
The opportunity to expand skills and knowledge beyond on-the-job training as preparation for additional responsibilities.
An excellent foundation for continued education.

This innovative curriculum was developed especially for Kentucky bankers.

The Balance Sheet & Income Statement - Establishing a Perspective
