MANAMA, October 23, 2016

Batelco, Bahrain’s leading digital services provider, has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Bahrain Institute of Banking & Finance (BIBF) that will see the company play the role of communications partner for the upcoming Bahrain International Project Management Convention.

The programme will run throughout November at the BIBF campus in Juffair, under the patronage of the Central Bank of Bahrain.

The convention, which is an initiative coordinated by the BIBF and supported by the Project Management Institute – Arabian Gulf Chapter (PMI – AGC), is the first of its kind event to take place in the region.

The programme will include a series of training courses, workshops and fun corporate activities highlighting various topics related to the science and art of project management. It has been designed to promote further awareness about this discipline, with the ultimate goal of enhancing project deliverables in Bahrain.

The partnership agreement was signed by Batelco’s human resources and corporate services general manager Suhaila Alnowakhda and BIBF deputy director Dr Ahmed Al-Shaikh at a meeting held at Batelco’s headquarters in Hamala.

Batelco Bahrain CEO Eng Muna Al Hashemi, speaking following the signing of the agreement, said Batelco was delighted to support the BIBF to ensure the success of the month-long programme.

“A number of Batelco’s staff will have the opportunity to participate and benefit from the training delivered by industry leading professionals. The content rich programme will undoubtedly benefit all who participate,” she added.

Alnowakhda said that training and development formed an essential part of Batelco’s framework with its staff benefitting from a wide range of opportunities at the company’s Hamala Training Centre.

“Batelco also avails of external training opportunities and the Project Management Convention with its high calibre trainers and comprehensive range of programmes and workshops, promises to be a very worthwhile opportunity not to be missed.”

Dr Al Shaikh extended his appreciation to Batelco on behalf of all concerned saying that the event will be a great opportunity for personnel from across different industries to learn and develop their skills, benefitting from the expertise of leading industry experts.

The convention will comprise 30 specialised workshops conducted by professional project management experts that covers all business sectors.

A competition in the project management field will be launched as part of the convention. The competition will be a practical implementation of project management principles that will help learners to apply and better understand the principles of project management, from beginning to the delivery of a product or result, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
