Bahrain pearl institute offers training to AlKhalifia Foundation students

The Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (Danat) recently held a training programme designed for 18 students of the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation in the kingdom.

The programme, centered around the fundamental knowledge of pearls and gemstones, was aimed at equipping these young individuals with comprehensive insights into pearl-related aspects, including extraction and examination methodologies.

It encompassed both hands-on practical sessions and insightful theoretical modules, delving into an array of engaging subjects.

This year's training was conducted by Bader Al Shaibani, a former participant of the programme who now works with the Foundation.

His involvement underscores the programme's efficacy and its ability to drive progress among its beneficiaries in the realm of jewellery and gemstones.

The topics covered a rich spectrum, ranging from the historical significance of natural pearls to the intricacies of gemstone manufacturing and finishing techniques.

Furthermore, the training also touched upon vital areas such as marketing strategies, sales approaches, and the latest trends and advancements within the dynamic pearl industry.

According to Danat, this is the second training programme of this kind for AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation’s students, following an earlier one held last summer.

"This initiative is a manifestation of the institute's dedication to nurturing emerging talents within the pearl and gemstone sector," remarked its CEO
