EDB Redefines Emirati Career Pathways with ‘Careers of Purpose'
at Ru'ya Careers UAE 2025
Dubai, UAE – 18 September 2025: Emirates Development Bank (EDB), the UAE's development-focused financial
engine, will announce at Ru'ya Careers UAE 2025 new initiatives that position the Bank not only as a financial
institution but also as a launchpad for future Emirati leaders in industries that are reshaping the nation's economy.
The event takes place from 23 to 25 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
While many banks prepare graduates for conventional finance roles, EDB's Graduate Programme gives young
nationals exposure to non-traditional career tracks from supporting green manufacturing to structuring finance for
renewable energy, healthcare expansion, and advanced technology ventures. These are careers designed to have
direct impact on the UAE's non-oil GDP growth, offering young Emiratis the chance to tie their professional path to
national transformation.
In parallel, the High Potentials (HIPO) Programme equips standout Emiratis for senior leadership roles, ensuring that
tomorrow's decision-makers are ready to lead both in finance and across the priority sectors of the UAE's economic
agenda. Together, these programmes reflect EDB's unique approach: building a diverse, inclusive workplace culture
while preserving a clear focus on Emiratisation and national talent development, an approach that has earned EDB
recognition as the first local bank in the UAE to be certified as a Great Place to Work®, underscoring how its culture
resonates with the aspirations of today's youth.
