The Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CPISP) concluded its training for students taking part in the Group 23 Candidacy Program. The training period comprises part of the selection process for candidates applying for one of CPISP’S ten annual scholarships.
The CPISP Director Dr. Cynthia Gessling commended the hard work, dedication, and performance demonstrated by students during the candidacy training, which began last summer in partnership with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF).
Dr. Gessling presented certificates of achievement to the Candidacy Program participants, following the end of a specially organized training day dedicated to developing teambuilding skills at the BIBF.
The training included courses on academic writing, critical thinking and leadership. Students were also given the opportunity to take part in communications development training, which included a Level 3 Certificate in Team Leading certified by the UK-based Chartered Management Institute (CMI), as well as personality and career path assessments.
CPISP organized guest lectures and panel discussions with qualified professionals on academic, personal development, and career-related topics, as well as IELTS and SAT preparation courses for candidates. Dr. Gessling affirmed the final ten scholarship recipients will be selected based on their Grade Point Average, their IELTS and SAT test results, and scores of the leadership training and critical thinking course.
Candidates will include students from public schools and private schools. Dr. Gessling extended her appreciation to the BIBF, Education Ministry, and the Information Affairs Ministry for their continued contribution to the program, and wished the students success.
