The development programme kicks off in December and offers Emiratis access to training and mentorship opportunities for the next 12 months in a bid to focus on the number of UAE nationals in the finance and banking sector. The bank also celebrated the graduation of its Emirati talents from last year’s batch.
Offering participants a well-rounded experience of the banking sector, the programme includes a one-month induction module, classroom training, job rotation, and mentorship by the bank’s senior leadership team who share their insights with the MTPs. With continuous support by the bank’s Board members and senior management on supporting Emiratisation initiatives, NBF is today regarded as an employer of choice in the UAE.
A key element of NBF’s HR strategy focuses on supporting the career aspiration of the nation’s youth and developing their skills as to prepare them to take on leadership roles within the bank. Today, the majority of current and previous participants are employed within the bank in high-ranking and critical roles across various departments including Risk, Audit, Corporate Banking, Credit, IT, among others.
Speaking at the occasion, Watfa Abdulkarim, Manager – Emiratisation at NBF said: “We are very proud to cement our status as one of the local banks invested in contributing to the government’s Emiratisation aspirations. Given the bank’s role in driving the economy forward, building capabilities within the sector will positively impact national growth and economic development. We strongly believe that first-hand experience and hands-on training with industry experts and veterans will encourage more Emiratis to jump-start a successful banking career.”
NBF continues to constantly meet the Emiratisation point system well ahead of other institutions in the region to support the national Emiratisation strategy by undertaking regular initiatives aimed at ensuring a sustainable pipeline of UAE banking professionals. As such, the bank gets yearly recognition by the Central Bank for maintaining the industry leading Emriatisation rate.
