The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Zain Bahrain to employ and train Bahrainis in the high-potential ICT sector through Zain’s ‘CODE 2030’ programme.
The initiative aligns with Tamkeen’s mandate of making Bahrainis the employees of choice in the private sector by supporting training and employment opportunities that can enhance their competitiveness locally and internationally.
CODE 2030 is a tech-based employment programme that aims to foster the development of skills and competencies needed for Bahraini youth to enter the technology field and contribute to its development in the kingdom.
Focusing on future tech skills such as data analytics, robotic process automation, fintech, cybersecurity, user interface design (UI) and user experience design (UX), artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the programme will offer 18 months of high-level training courses, professional certifications, and on-the-job training rotations within Zain.
It is open to all Bahrainis who graduated from university within the past three years, and are aged between 21 and 27.
The agreement was signed by Tamkeen acting chief executive Maha Mofeez and Zain Bahrain managing director Mohammed Zainalabedin in the presence of officials from both sides.
