Batelco Bahrain A/CEO Muna Al Hashemi along  and a number of Batelco’s Senior Management attended the opening of the 15th University of Bahrain (UoB) Career Day, which took place on 10, 11 and 12 March.

Supporting Mrs. Al Hashemi at the opening ceremony were Batelco Group General Manager HR & Development Shaikh Ahmed Al Khalifa, Batelco Bahrain General Manager Human Resources& Corporate Services Suhaila Alnowakhda andHead of Human Resources & Union Relations Shaikh Bader Al Khalifa. The three day event was held under the patronage of H.E Dr. Majid bin Ali Al Noaimi, the Minister of Education and UoB President Dr. Ebrahim Mohammed Janahi.

As Platinum sponsor of Career Day for 2015, this makes it the 11th 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 Batelco industry experts were available to answer questions and give advice based on their years of experience in their respective fields.

Mrs. Al Hashemi 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. Al Hashemi added.

Dr. Janahi extended his appreciation on behalf of all concerned at the UoB for Batelco’s ongoing support towards the Annual event.

“Our students look forward to this event as it provides such an excellent opportunity for them to meet with many leading organisations. Their feedback is always very positive and annually many of them establish contacts with companies that ultimately offer support through industry training places and often leads to them getting started on the career ladder,” he added.
