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
