The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has concluded the school phase of its fifth EVOLVE summer internship programme and launched the university phase.
The transition marks the continuation of the 2026 scheme, which was launched in July. Participants completed structured classroom sessions, practical assignments and on-the-job training.
