National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) announced today that 14 UAE Nationals have formally joined its Management Trainee Programme (MTP). In its sixth year, NBF’s MTP is designed to provide high-calibre candidates with training and career development opportunities that will help them excel in the banking sector.

NBF’s Head of Human Resources Abdulla Aleter said that the bank remains committed to enhancing the programme so as to develop a sustainable pipeline of Emirati leaders for NBF. Selected candidates, usually fresh graduates, are immersed in a 12-month training programme featuring a one month induction module, classroom training, job rotation and mentorship by members of the bank’s management committee.

Indicative of our success in nurturing local talent, NBF was recently presented with the “Mark of Excellence” award for its Nationalisation efforts at this year’s Middle East HR Excellence Awards in November. NBF’s Emiratisation ratio stands at an industry-leading 42% today.
