The training, which took place over the summer period, aims to identify the strength and capabilities available in the working market.

The programme has attracted 162 trainees from senior students in schools, collages, and universities from all over the United Arab Emirates.

A conclusion ceremony was organised on the occasion during which Abd Al Minem Bastaki, Executive Vice-President, Group Financial, DIB, distributed awards to trainees in three categories: the Best Trainee, Best Coordinator, and Best Project. Several officials from the bank were also present at the ceremony.

Obaid Al Shamsi, Head of the Emiratisation Committee at DIB said, "Iktasib provides professional training opportunities for young UAE nationals allowing them to develop their skill set and increase their knowledge of Sharia compliant Islamic finance. Trained individuals will be given priority regarding employment vacancies at the bank in the future."

Al Shamsi added that the programme is open to young UAE nationals with High School Diplomas degrees and above.

"Trainees that participate in the Iktasib programme receive a monthly stipend and appreciation certificates," he said.
