PETALING JAYA: The Chartered Institute of Islamic Finance Professionals (CIIF) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Jabatan Pendidikan Politeknik dan Kolej Komuniti (JPPKK), a department under the Higher Education Ministry, to develop more versatile and competent talents that would contribute substantially to the Islamic finance industry.
