As part of the bank's continuing commitment to increase the participation of local talent in the banking sector, Emirates Islamic, one of the leading Islamic economic institutions in the UAE, and the preferred bank for UAE nationals has announced its participation at the Sharjah National Career Exhibition (9 11 February, Expo Centre Sharjah).

The banking enterprise performs an essential role in the UAE's economy and is one of the country's most essential business sectors. As one of the leading Islamic banks in the UAE, we favor to make sure that our Emirati youth play a dominant role in shaping the industry's future and driving innovation in the competitive international financial services landscape. Our goal is to proceed nurturing UAE national talent by offering them with a strong training foundation, vocational guidance and career development opportunities that empower their professional boom to emerge as business leaders of tomorrow, stated Marwan Salem Abunawas AlMheiri, Chief Human Resources Officer at Emirates Islamic.
