Dubai: Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), the UAE’s largest Islamic Bank, participated at the 22nd National Career Exhibition in Sharjah, the annual fair which offers exciting job and training opportunities for Emirati youth. The exhibition was inaugurated under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.

DIB places a significant focus in supporting the nation’s Emiratization agenda that has a goal to increase UAE nationals working in the public and private sector by a factor of ten. Under the leadership of the bank’s Board of Directors, DIB witnessed its Emiratisation ratio growing over the years to make up almost half its total employees, demonstrating 45 years of DIB commitment to Emiratization. DIB is always on track to meet Emiratisation target set by UAE Central Bank, as a strong believer of the fact that Emiratisation has had a positive impact on the bank’s growth and success, as well as the country’s overall social and economic development.

Commenting on the bank’s participation at the 22nd National Career Exhibition, Maryam Saeed Al Mehairi, Senior Manager of Recruitment at Dubai Islamic Bank said, “We are delighted to participate once again at the National Career Exhibition. Such platforms provide us a great opportunity to engage with talented Emirati candidates. As one of the leading banks in the UAE, we consider Human Capital as our strongest asset, and we are persistent on nurturing the next generation of talents to help drive the bank forward. Our Emiratization efforts are part of the UAE’s Emiratization drive, which is aimed at hiring national youth in the private sector, and we will continue to contribute to the professional development of training this pool of talents that we hire.”

DIB strives to drive, promote and enhance the UAE Nationals’ journey in the Bank through several Emiratization development programs; which mainly include HR initiatives such as the Masaar Program, Taalam Program, Emarati Program and High Potential Employee Program. Our seamless efforts reaffirm our commitment to the national strategy, thus attracting aspiring talent to nurture the new generation of UAE national banking professionals with customized training programs, thus enhancing their professional growth and fusion of their skills and capabilities.

In 2019, DIB has joined Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratization (MOHRE) in its newly launched Government Accelerator program called “Graduate Trainee Program”, a customized training program aimed at developing graduates with pre-identified competencies in line with the job requirements in private sector entities. DIB was committed to the Graduate Trainee Program and hired 20 Emiratis under the program where they have undergone a specialized training program in partnership with EIBFS.

Supported by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Emirates Institute for Banking & Financial Studies, the National Career Exhibition has been held at the Expo Centre in Sharjah from 9 to 11 February 2020. The annual event is a significant part of the government’s agenda to amplify the number of UAE nationals employed in the private sector by 2021.
