HIS Majesty King Hamad’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs and board chairman of Nasser Vocational Training Centre (NVTC) Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa praised the steps taken by NVTC in providing advanced quality specialisations to promote technical education.
He stressed keenness on turning Bahrain into a pioneering model in education and feeding the industrial and economic sectors with advanced educational and vocational outputs.
He also pointed out the centre’s vision to become a technical city pumping promising competencies into the labour market to enhance the kingdom’s standing on the industrial and technological advancement map.
This came during the second meeting of NVTC board of trustees in 2023, which convened in the presence of deputy chairman Dr Mustafa Al Sayed, chief executive Dr Abdulla bin Nasser Al Noaimi and members.
The meeting highlighted issues on its agenda, including the final financial report for 2022. The board also decided to form the supervisory committees on the effective implementation of the governance system, in tune with the centre’s current development process.
The board also discussed the steps taken by the centre to diversify the specialisations and advanced educational tracks, including the ongoing work to inaugurate the Academy of Cyber Security Sciences at the centre.
The move is in line with the directives of the chairman of the board of trustees to enhance the students’ skills in addressing digital security and safety risks and keep pace with the latest scientific trends in this regard.
The meeting also discussed the ongoing preparations to organise the graduation ceremony of the seventh batch of students, which is set to be held under the patronage of Shaikh Nasser.
