Bespoke learning programmes will help support ambitions to create job opportunities for Emirati nationals
The CIPD is proud to announce a Memorandum of Understanding with The Emirates Institute for Finance (EIF) to augment both financial training and HR practices in the United Arab Emirates.
This partnership supports the Emiratisation objectives of the financial sector programme "Ethraa", which aims to create 5,000 job opportunities for Emiratis by 2026.
The two organisations will work together to develop bespoke learning programmes to meet the needs of the financial services industry, with an emphasis on human resources, leadership training, and other areas of mutual interest.
Additionally, the partnership will involve the development of the Harnessing Human Capital (HHM) project, focusing on top-tier training and certifications, and the introduction of specialised certificate courses in accounting and finance. The two organisations will also collaborate on consumer education, research, awareness campaigns, workshops, and other events.
This joint venture between the CIPD and the EIF demonstrates a shared ambition to empower Emirati professionals, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed for the modern financial sector. Both organisations are committed to building a resilient financial sector in the UAE, supported by skilled nationals at its core.
