We are committed to nurturing talented individuals and providing them with as many opportunities possible to contribute to developing their careers. As a leading UAE financial institution, hiring UAE National has always been a strategic objective for Mashreq.”

 
The Emaratisation strategy of Mashreq is in line with government efforts to raise awareness and encourage localization across the banking sector. The new recruits are mandated to undergo an intensive training program that is customized for their respective roles and offers a combination of induction tools, product knowledge, system training, customer service and other soft skills.

 
Mashreq has developed dedicated programs to be able to recruit, train, develop and retain UAE Nationals employees.
