Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) is reinforcing its commitment to developing Bahraini youth through the expansion of its On-the-Job Training (OJT) programme. 

 

Alba’s CEO Ali Al Baqali emphasised this dedication during a meeting with OJT participants on Monday (August 5) at the company’s Oasis Hall.

 

Since the start of 2024, Alba has provided practical, hands-on experience to 215 students from local and international universities, with a notable 42% female representation. The programme encompasses all company functions, from operations to administration.

 

This summer, Alba witnessed an 86% surge in OJT participants, with 149 students compared to the previous year's 80. Alba has achieved this expansion by forging strong partnerships with local universities, offering students invaluable industrial exposure and preparing them to become key contributors to Bahrain’s economy, the company said. –TradeArabia News Service
