TRA signs MoU with Royal University for Women

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Royal University for Women (RUW) aimed at strengthening the frameworks of cooperation and effective partnership between them.

The signing of the MoU comes on the sidelines of the initiative launched by TRA during the year to support promising university research for the telecommunications sector.

The MoU was signed by Sh. Mohammed bin Salman AlKhalifa, director of Finance, Information Technology and Human Resources at TRA and the RUW Dean of the College of Art and Design  Dr Shweta Kinra, at the TRA’s headquarters.

Under the terms of the MoU, the two parties will work in the coming period to strengthen cooperation through their participation in ongoing awareness programs and public consultation, informing them of the latest developments in the field of telecommunications and providing them with relevant periodicals. The mechanism of implementation between the two parties also included the formation of joint working groups through which the fields falling within the scope of the MoU are consulted on and coordinated.

"TRA pays attention to the academic programs that support the telecommunications sector in Bahrain. Through this strategic partnership, we are keen to maintain constructive communication with educational institutions to enrich their programs. This is as part of the TRA’s efforts to develop students' skills and qualify them for the labour market in the telecommunications sector," said Sh. Mohammed.

Dr Kinra said: "The MoU between the RUW and TRA is part of our commitment to develop the level of vocational training, which will create new opportunities for students and educational staff to provide them with advanced skills and enhance the labour market with qualified cadres.” - TradeArabia News Service
