MORE than 60 students, aged 16 to 18, have benefited from a programme aimed to equip them with essential skills for a smooth transition into university life.
‘Watheq’ was organised by the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) in partnership with the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF).
The programme, which ran through July, featured interactive workshops, field trips, challenges and real-life applications. It centred around personal development, motivation, foundational abilities, university major exploration and career guidance.
A closing ceremony was held for the students at the British University of Bahrain, in Saar.
MKF general secretary Shaikha Hala bint Mohamed Al Khalifa and NBB’s business marketing and partnerships manager Mohamed Alqassimi presented awards to the participants for having successfully completed the programme.
MKF also expressed its gratitude to NBB for its support in making the programme a success.
NBB remains dedicated to partnering with prominent organisations such as MKF on initiatives that nurture and enable the development of talented Bahraini youth.
