**Platinum Sponsorship of Exhibition is key part of Company’s Commitment to Support Education in Bahrain**

Batelco Bahrain General Manager Human Resources and Corporate Services Suhaila Alnowakhda and Head of Human Resources and Union Relations Shaikh Bader Al Khalifa,  along with other Batelco representatives attended the opening of the 14^th University of Bahrain (UoB) Career Day. The three day event was held under the patronage of UoB President Dr. Ebrahim Mohammed Janahi.

As Platinum sponsor of Career Day for 2014, this makes it the 10^th year that Batelco has been the event’s main sponsor. This sponsorship comes from Batelco’s commitment to support education in the Kingdom. Career Day is an ideal opportunity for university students to learn about job opportunities in the telecommunications sector and labour market development in general. Batelco hosted  a stand at the event where industry experts were available to answer questions and give advice based on their years of experience in their respective fields.

Mrs. Alnowakhda  expressed Batelco’s pleasure in supporting the Career Day event which is an iconic event on the Bahrain calendar for students and educators.

“Such events provide the perfect opportunity for university students to find out more about careers in the telecommunications industry as well as the wider job market. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. Education, knowledge and sound advice will provide invaluable tools to help them face the challenges that lie ahead. The UoB, in organising events such as these, is helping to build a better future for Bahraini generations to come,” Mrs. Alnowakhda added.
