400+ UAE Graduate Finance Jobs Available At Ethraa Job Fair
The second edition of the Ethraa Career Fair, organized by the Emirates Institute of Finance (EIF), has created more than 400 exclusive finance job vacancies for recent graduates and experienced professionals in the UAE.
The fair was held at the FEI site in Dubai International Academic City on Monday and attracted more than 40 renowned banks, insurance companies, currency exchange, and other financial institutions.
The job fair is an offshoot of the Ethraa Initiative, a mission to localize the financial sector and create 5,000 jobs by 2026. It is in line with the UAE government’s broader agenda to expand job opportunities for its citizens.
Saif Al Dhaheri, who is in charge of strategy, financial infrastructure, and digital transformation at the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates and is also Vice Chairman of the EIF Board, said the job fair reflects the strategic goals of the institute for the period 2023-2026. The goals focus on education, development, talent localization, and intelligent people management.
As the coordinator of the Ethraa initiative, the EIF has committed to creating 3,500 jobs to reach a 45% recruitment rate in the banking sector. In addition, 1,500 jobs are to be created in the insurance industry in order to achieve a location quota of 30% in this sector.
The first Ethraa Career Fair, held in May 2022, attracted more than 50 major banks, insurance companies, stock exchanges, and fintech companies from across the region.
