Sharjah24: Continuing its commitment to empowering young national talents, Sharjah Islamic Bank is launching the second phase of its part-time employment initiative after the success of the first phase, which began in September 2024 and resulted in the hiring of 50 Emirati students and graduates across various departments and branches of the bank.

Enhancing the presence of national talents

This step is part of the bank's plan to strengthen the presence of national talents in the banking sector within a flexible and growth-oriented work environment.

Employment open day

Fadila Al Marzouqi, Head of Human Resources at Sharjah Islamic Bank, announced that the bank will organize an open employment day this coming Sunday at the Emirates Financial Institute in Sharjah, aimed at attracting citizens from universities and colleges who seek practical experience and wish to build promising careers in the banking sector.

Providing a flexible work environment

Al Marzouqi added that the launch of the second phase of the initiative follows the success of the first phase and reflects the bank's commitment to expanding job empowerment opportunities for young Emiratis by providing a flexible work environment that meets their educational needs and supports their professional aspirations.

Four-Hour workdays

The opportunities offered include hiring a group of citizens for four-hour workdays in various roles such as customer service, call centers, and administrative positions. Applicants must hold at least a university degree or high school diploma. The initiative features a flexible work system that combines on-site and remote work, including initial training at one of the bank's branches to ensure participants are prepared and aligned with the work environment from day one.

Supporting localisation efforts

This initiative reflects Sharjah Islamic Bank's vision in supporting localization efforts by providing flexible job opportunities that align with youth aspirations and enhance the presence of Emirati talents in the banking sector, which is one of the key sectors supporting economic growth in the country.

Aligning with "Nafis" goals

This step also aligns with the objectives of the "Nafis" programme, which aims to increase employment rates among citizens in the private sector and qualify them for quality jobs that meet market demands and keep pace with its developments.
