NBB Launches Fourth Edition of the EVOLVE Summer Internship Programme
This year's programme will be delivered in two distinct phases. The EVOLVE School segment will run from 8th July to 7th August, followed by EVOLVE University segment, which will take place from 10th August to 11th September. More than 130 school and university students will take part in this year's intake, embarking on an intensive learning journey consisting of classroom-based sessions led by NBB employees and external subject matter experts. This will be followed by two weeks of on-the-job training, allowing participants to apply their acquired knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Commenting on the occasion, Usman Ahmed, Group Chief Executive Officer of NBB said: 'Through EVOLVE, we continue to deepen our commitment towards empowering young Bahrainis with practical experiences that extend beyond academic learning. By offering students enriched hands-on experiences, we aim to spark an interest in financial services and help nurture and equip the next generation to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic sector.'
EVOLVE offers a comprehensive curriculum that goes beyond traditional vocational training. Participants gain direct exposure to NBB's diverse divisions—including high-impact areas such as fintech and cybersecurity—enabling them to explore real-world applications of innovation in financial services. The programme also emphasises holistic development through engaging team-building activities, cultural awareness sessions, first-aid certification, and sign language instruction, nurturing well-rounded, socially conscious future professionals. As part of its ongoing commitment to national talent development, NBB will continue to formalise partnerships with leading academic and training institutions across the Kingdom to ensure a robust and transformative experience for all attendees.
EVOLVE reflects NBB's ongoing commitment to contributing to Bahrain's human capital development in alignment with the Kingdom's Vision 2030. As a key pillar of the Bank's long-term national development strategy, the programme stands as a legacy initiative dedicated to empowering future leaders. By nurturing a generation equipped to drive innovation and lead with purpose, EVOLVE continues to deliver long-term value to individuals, industries, and the broader economy.

Charity-Led Forum Empowers Bahrain's Youth Futures
TDT | Manama A new community-driven career forum is set to provide Bahraini students with sharper guidance on their academic and professional futures, as the Horizons Initiative prepares to host its first major event this September. Organised in partnership with Isa Town Charity Society and the Bahrain Society for Sickle Cell Disease Patients Care, the initiative aims to build an early bridge between students, their families, and the evolving demands of the labour market. The forum aligns with Bahrain's Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, offering a platform for students to make informed career decisions. Forum ambitions The announcement was made at an introductory meeting held at Al Ayam newspaper hall, attended by MP Jalila Alawi Al Sayed Hasan, Ibrahim Ali Abdul Rahman Al Burshid, Assistant Undersecretary for Education at the Ministry of Education, and other education and training specialists. During the session, officials presented the forum's core objectives, describing it as a pivotal opportunity to empower students by helping them explore academic and career pathways both within Bahrain and abroad. They explained that the forum is intended to complement existing guidance programmes run by the Ministry of Education and align with Tamkeen's broader efforts to develop national talent. Beyond financial aid Speakers stressed that charitable work should go beyond financial support, calling for early and sustained engagement with students and their families to help them make informed decisions about their professional futures. Without such guidance, they warned, students risk choosing paths that may not reflect actual labour market needs. The upcoming forum will include lectures, one-on-one counselling, interactive workshops, and conversations with industry experts. A key focus will be introducing participants to future-facing specialisations that reflect shifts in the global job landscape.
