AlHuda CIBE UAE, an Islamic Finance Advisory, consultancy, research, capacity building and Shariah services provider institution, has announced the launch of its Talent Acquisition Platform, which aims to bridge the skills gap in the Islamic Finance Industry.
Indeed, while the Islamic finance industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years, rapid expansion has exposed a gap in the talent pool. As a result, there is now a shortage of qualified professionals with the technical expertise and the requisite understanding of Islamic finance principles (Shariah).
AlHuda CIBE explained that the launch of the Talent Acquisition Platform aims to address this skills gap challenge by connecting the right talent with the right opportunities across the Islamic finance spectrum.
The platform reportedly encompasses the entire Islamic finance industry, including:
-Takaful (Islamic insurance),
-Ijarah (Islamic leasing),
-Sukuk (Islamic bonds),
-Islamic indices,
-Islamic mutual funds, and
-Mudarabah funds (profit-sharing investment partnerships).
Muhammad Zubair, CEO of AlHuda CIBE, commented: “We often see a situation where valuable expertise isn’t being utilized in the most effective way. This platform will ensure that the right qualified individuals, with both technical and Shariah knowledge, are placed in the right positions.”
