The e-Academy, which aims to serve as one-stop career development portal for staff across levels and functions, will provide rich educational content that is home grown yet world class in nature and that is delivered in a well organised, easy to use and highly interactive way.
Commenting, President & Chief Executive of ABG, Mr. Adnan Ahmed Yousif, said,
“This is another milestone in our strategy, as a Group, to invest in initiatives that help us continue to raise the bar for excellence and innovation in the delivery of Islamic banking products and services across each and every one of the markets where we are active. With the creation of our e-Academy, we have become even more agile in meeting the training requirements of our employees and ensuring they have the skills and knowledge needed to both advance as individuals and to support the further development of their respective organisations, no matter where they are physically located. This added flexibility to the way our colleagues can learn and grow could not be better timed given the challenges and restrictions placed on travel today. We are excited to see the platform go live and to putting its customised content and functionality at the disposal of our colleagues around the world.”
