CBI to go on an Emiratization drive

The move came even as the bank participated in the Careers Day, organized by Higher Colleges of Technology- Dubai Men's College at the Academic City, Dubai.

The bank is offering a variety of training and career development programs for UAE nationals, whose inherent strengths and professionalk potential for successful careers in the banking industry remain underutilized.

Through participating in the event, CBI has offered a new occupational possibility to the UAE nationals to step into the banking industry, fostering their future via sponsoring local students to train and develop. This effort at instilling nationals into the bank's workforce is in line with the bank's vision, which puts a premium on providing promising career opportunities for suitable national candidates among its ranks.

Commenting on the event and the bank's commitment to Emiratization, Mohammed Omar Mutawa, Training and Development Manager at CBI, said: "The bank has participated in many career fairs in the past held throughout the UAE and has consistently provided internship and work placement programs for students, especially national students. Our team was available on stand to provide and discuss with aspiring students on the wide variety of career opportunities and client services available at CBI."

"Portraying our corporate philosophy through our new identity and vision, we are on the right track of ensuring a secure and promising career graph, and committing to harness the untapped reservoir of the UAE nationals from various streams such as branch management, retail banking, corporate and investment banking. This vision is set to encourage and optimize the deployment of national human resources in our banking operations, thus facilitating an environment that nurtures the growth of UAE nationals as successful professionals," added Mutawa.

Successfully launched, the Training & Development Department at CBI is well structured for recruitment, training, development and placement of UAE nationals in running highly potential businesses. Benchmarks are created to continuously evaluate and monitor the progress of employees so that their efficiency levels meet and often exceed the bank's expectations. Competitive compensation packages are implemented in order to motivate and enhance employee productivity.
