New Tamkeen initiative for 45 Bahrainis

Manama, March 29, 2011

A total of 45 Bahraini graduates will be trained over three years in international companies through a new Tamkeen initiative.

The International Interships Programme was set up in an agreement between Aiesec in Bahrain and Tamkeen.

It will provide an opportunity for 15 young male and female graduates each year to be trained in major companies and institutions worldwide.

The BD172,500 agreement was signed by Tamkeen enterprise and human capital development vice-president Dr Ahmed Abdulghani Al Shaikh and AIESEC in Bahrain chairwoman Faiza Mohammad Saeed.

The programme requires the applicant to be a Bahraini citizen aged between 18 and 30 years with a Bachelor's degree as a minimum.

Participants will undergo six to 12 months training.

Applicants should be fluent in English, both reading and writing, and must be approved by the programme's committee.

The programme offers an opportunity for young Bahrainis to develop their potential and improve their chances in the labour market through expertise gained on an international level, said Dr Al Shaikh.

'The selected candidates will include Bachelor graduates in various fields of management, Information Technology related to networks and website design and management,' said Saeed.

'This is in addition to some engineering specialisations in IT as well as holders of educational degrees related to curriculum design, education and educational guidance.'-TradeArabia News Service
