Learning & Development

Upskill and lead in a digital world

In 2022, we made our biggest learning investment ever, allocating AED 200 million to upskill our employees through our comprehensive “Get Future Ready” initiative, with half of that funding prioritized for UAE Nationals.

It means whether you’re an aspiring Data Scientist or just want to get better at using technology, we’ll prepare you for a rapidly digitizing world.

Career Connection Program

After graduating from our Data Science Academy, it’s important you transition into a new role as a Data Scientist, Data Engineer or similar as soon as possible. Our Career Connection Program makes that happen by linking Data Science Academy graduates to relevant, available internal roles. That means you can get started right away and we can build a pipeline of talent where we need it the most.

Head of EI Business Transformation and Talent Pool member

“I’m in the talent pool and recently finished my Executive MBA from the London Business School. It’s something I’m really proud of. I started it back in 2020 and for most of the year, I was able to take a week off every month to attend courses and complete assignments. I’m not sure how many companies would let me do that fully paid, so I’m very appreciative of it.”
