Batelco announced launching the “Elevator to Success” youth development programme in collaboration with INJAZ Bahrain, Brinc, and Clever Play. The four participating entities signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during a virtual meeting held on the 2nd of December. 

The MOU was signed by Batelco General Manager Corporate Communications & CSR Shaikh Bader bin Rashid Al Khalifa, INJAZ Bahrain Executive Director Hana Sarwani, Brinc MENA CDO & MP Yasin Aboudaoud and Clever Play Co-Founder & CEO Shaikha Latifa Alkhalifa. The “Elevator to Success” is a 4-year training programme that aims at closing the skill gap between graduates and employers.

This will be achieved through early engagement at the beginning of the students’ university education journey and through focussing on entrepreneurial and IOT skills. Throughout the programme, students will be provided with mentorship, professional certification, and guaranteed on-job training. Commenting on the initiative, Shaikh Bader bin Rashid Al Khalifa, General Manager of Corporate Communications & CSR at Batelco said: “It brings us great pleasure to establish this youth development programme, in cooperation with INJAZ Bahrain, Brinc and Clever Play.” “We are developing this programme as a prototype and hope that it proves successful. Its measure of success will be the employment rate of students who complete the programme successfully.

We hope to create a development framework that can be adapted by other organizations.” Interested participants can register to the programme on the link www.batelco.com/batelco-educational-programme
