The Emirates Institute of Finance (EIF), a regional leader in banking and finance training, has announced the launch of “Ethraa Alumni Association (EAA)” during the Ramadan Networking Event to foster a community among EIF’s graduates.
The main objective of the Ethraa Alumni Association is to build an EIF community to allow the alumni to continue to grow, learn, and widen their horizons within the fields of banking and finance. Through the EAA, graduates will be able to develop their careers through the job postings, resume workshops and mentorship programs that EIF is planning to provide.
Ethraa Alumni Association will be governed by Alumni Ambassadors who will be in charge of hosting several virtual and in-person events, including guest lectures, panel discussions and fundraising events. EIF is also planning to host webinars, workshops and seminars addressing trends, practices, and emerging topics in finance to keep alumni updated with the fast-paced industry.
The EAA will host an annual alumni reunion and will provide exclusive benefits to the graduates including promotions in several stores across the UAE, invitations to exclusive events and full access to the campus facilities.
Noura Alblooshi, General Manager of the Emirates Institute of Finance, said,
“At EIF, we recognise that Ethraa alumni are key factors to our legacy and success. Through the launch of the EAA, we aim to maintain the bond among the alumni and follow the vision of our wise leadership that the youth play an invaluable role in the development of the country’s economy. We hope through the alumni association, the graduates will act as EIF’s ambassadors, proud of the milestone they achieved.”
With its commitment to providing exceptional education and training for the banking and finance industry, EIF has established itself as a stalwart in the UAE, Gulf, and Middle East. Over the past 40 years, it has trained approximately 300,000 banking professionals, with thousands benefitting from accelerated professional advancement in the banking and financial services sectors.
