Tamkeen supports the training of approximately 100 Bahrainis in iOS App Development using swift programming

The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) signed a strategic cooperation with Bahrain Polytechnic to train 100 Bahrainis in Swift and iOS App Development as part of the Apple iOS Program, providing the local market with a talent pool of native Swift developers, a highly sought-after skill in Bahrain and abroad. This initiative comes as part of Tamkeen’s plan to support the training and development of Bahraini talent in emerging tech skills to enhance their competitiveness locally and internationally.

The first cohort attending the training course will include 25 Bahraini students and is scheduled to start in October at “Bahrain Polytechnic”, home of the first Apple Authorized Training Center in Bahrain and the second in the region. The participants will learn mobile development based on Apple Swift Fundamentals and Data Collection. The course will be delivered by Apple certified trainers and will offer a professional certificate (Level 1 of the iOS App Development). At the end of the program the participants will get access to a one-month internship to apply the skills they learned during the training period.

Applications for the course will be through Bahrain Polytechnic’s website https://ios.polytechnic.bh, where registrations will be open until 25 September. Applicants do not require any programming experience, and
