THE Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) yesterday announced that registration is now open for the second batch of participants in the Technical Development Programme, which aims to support Bahraini jobseekers and university graduates in specialised ICT fields and refine their skills. The programme will also help trainees gain employment in either the public or the private sector.
Registration is through the iGA’s corporate website iga.gov.bh until September 19, where candidates can verify their eligibility requirements and the documents needed to complete the registration process.
iGA chief executive Mohammed Al Qaed said that the programme is consistent with Bahrain’s efforts to elevate high potential sectors, in light of the comprehensive development process led by His Majesty King Hamad, and in implementation of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister’s directives to continue supporting government strategies and priorities, including the Bahrain Economic Recovery Plan.
He highlighted the importance of the training programme in building a team of specialised Bahraini youth capable of working with advanced technologies so that they can contribute to enhancing the electronic solutions and services offered by government and private entities.
