The new strategy is designed to take EIF from a “Traditional Training Institute,” into a “World-Class Centre for Talent Development and Innovation,” supporting the sustainability of the financial services sector, by providing:

• Targeted training: offering globally recognized certifications only.
• Independent standard setting: defining the qualifications and skills needed for critical roles in the sector.
• Driving Emiratization: launching new initiatives to deliver on the national Emiratization targets.
• Accreditation authority: offer training on par with industry-leading regional and international institutions.
• AI-powered platform: support the industry’s talent management through a shared AI-powered platform.
• Cutting-edge innovation lab: offer an R&D Think Tank hub, a technical sandbox, and a sector networking platform.

EIF continues to work to become a central institution providing targeted training programs focused on key topics and roles. Our position as a leading training provider allows us to support the efforts to achieve the goals of the Emiratization agenda, with long-term plans to offer our clients self-certification programs to establish a regional benchmark.
