UAE’s Mashreq launches training programme for women wishing to make career comeback

Ahmed Abdelaal, Group CEO of Mashreq, said: “The well-being of a diverse workforce affects employee morale, which directly impacts service delivery, quality of output, and customer satisfaction. The initiative will enable us to identify and develop the best of untapped female talent in the market while creating new career opportunities for women to empower them.”

The programme targets a diverse group of women, from junior to senior level associates, with the right skill sets, looking to rejoin the workforce, said Mashreq. “It will apply to qualified women who have taken a hiatus of at least 12 months from full-time employment because of maternity, elderly care, family responsibilities, or pursuing higher studies, hobbies, or other personal priorities,” stated the bank. The participants will also attend workshops and receive extended support in on-the-job training to ensure a smooth transition to work.
