In fact, as part of its efforts to support Emiratisation and attract national graduates to join the banking sector, CBD had launched management trainee programme Tumoo7 last year. Gareth Powell, Chief Human Resources Officer, CBD, says, Our participation in recruitment exhibitions is part of our commitment to directly communicate with national graduates in universities, colleges and institutes with majors in accounting, economics, human resources, business administration or science, who are interested in working in banking. Such events can help graduates understand the employment opportunities available to them as well as the advantages and benefits of joining CBD and our development programmes. We believe it is important to attract, train and develop national citizens in line with our standing in the business community. CBD has achieved an advanced position in this arena and currently it achieves among the highest rates of nationalization in the UAE banking sector. This is as the result of a specific resourcing strategy adopted by the bank to promote its employer brand and contribute to the development of the next generation of well qualified talent in the banking sector who can occupy key leadership positions at CBD in the future, he added. In recognition of the outstanding role CBD has played in nationalization across the GCC, the Bank has won several awards, including the Dubai Human Development Award and Human Resources Development in Banking Award.
