Aluminium Bahrain, the world’s largest aluminium smelter on one site, announced that 56 Bahraini employees have successfully completed the ‘Al Jisr’ Training and Development programme. This flagship initiative is designed to build essential supervisory skills and accelerate career progression for high-potential nationals, reinforcing Alba’s commitment to developing future leaders from within.

Alba’s Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali recognised the programme’s participants during a ceremony held yesterday at the Company’s premises, in the presence of the senior management team.

The ‘Al Jisr’ candidates, comprising both male and female employees from various departments, underwent structured development over four years. Each participant was assigned a seasoned mentor from their respective work area coupled with expert guidance from an instructor within Alba’s HR and Training Department. Their progress was closely monitored and tracked through seven performance reviews –conducted every 6 months – with active engagement from the Company’s Executives and Directors.

“’Al Jisr’ is a testament to our commitment to Bahraini Talent,” stated Alba’s CEO Ali Al Baqali. “With 87% Bahrainisation, we’re not just building a company, we are investing in our future.”

Launched in November 2020, the Al Jisr Programme stands apart by accelerating career progression, reducing the eligibility period for nationals to become eligible for supervisory roles in Alba upon successful completion.
