The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) has announced that registration has opened today (August 14) for the first edition of its Graduate Development Program 'GP15' and will run until month end. 

 

The initiative supports the CBB’s ongoing commitment to empowering Bahraini youth, in line with its priorities to foster innovation, digital transformation, and build a skilled, future-ready workforce.

 

The programme targets Bahrainis who have graduated from local and international universities within the last two years with a Bachelor’s degree in any specialisation, and a minimum GPA of 3.25. 

 

As part of the first edition of the programme, 15 candidates will be selected through a comprehensive evaluation process including an aptitude test and interviews, to ensure the participants are the best fit for the programme, said CBB in its statement.

 

Selected graduates will take part in a six-month internship opportunity, where they will work across various functions within the CBB, and engage in practical workplace simulations. 

 

Participants will also attend workshops and site visits aimed at strengthening their analytical skills, financial literacy, and understanding of banking strategies, it stated.

 

On the new programme, Fatema Mohamed Ali, Director of Human Resources at CBB and Program Manager, said: "We encourage ambitious Bahraini graduates to take advantage of this opportunity to gain valuable experience and develop their careers in the financial services sector."

 

"This programme reflects the CBB’s dedication to investing in national talent and preparing future leaders who will drive industry growth and innovation," she added.-TradeArabia News Service
