NBB-ThinkSmart joins hands for Forsati Project

Manama: The

National bank of Bahrain (NBB) and ThinkSmart, a leading ICT provider in the

region, have joined hands to collaborate on a special project aimed at grooming

the Kingdom's future IT leaders. The programme, known as 'Forsati' is an

initiative launched in Partnership with Microsoft and Bahrain Technology

Companies (BTECH) Society, with the aim of providing top Bahraini graduates

with the necessary skills to prepare them for future jobs.

As a proud

member of #TeamBahrain, NBB's role in this initiative is further paving the way

for the development of both the Kingdom's economy and society, by preparing

promising Bahrainis to attain key positions across all sectors.

Through this

programme, a number of select Bahraini graduates will become members of Team

NBB and will undergo Microsoft's Job-role Training and have access to

Professional Certifications, which are aligned with industry standards and

requirements. Students will also be provided with career coaching and mentoring

that will guide them towards emerging occupations that are growing in demand

such as Fintech Analyst, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineer, Data Scientist,

Software Developer and Solution Architect, resulting in an increased

Bahrainisation rate in this particular field.

"We believe

in the importance of sustainability and with the support of strategic partners

such as NBB, and participation from students of the Kingdom's leading

universities, we will be able to contribute
