The "Ruwad" program aims to attract and develop the most qualified and distinguished Emirati talents. The 24-month program is based on skills development through participation in high-level training projects and programs, especially in newly emerging fields.
The program also reflects Emirates NBD's keenness to search for a wide range of graduates to join the "Ruwad" program, and indicates that the bank's goal is not limited to searching for graduates in the field of banking and traditional financial affairs.
