Bahrain Bourse (BHB) announced kicking off the second edition of the Capital Markets Apprenticeship Programme.

The programme successfully hosted 8 interns out of more than 247 applicants.

It is an on-the-job training programme aimed at Bahraini graduates looking to develop practical experience in the Capital Markets Sector.

Shaikh Khalifa Bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, CEO of Bahrain Bourse, commented, “This programme, along with our other financial literacy programs including The Smart Investor Program, TradeQuest, and The Investment Academy, are carefully constructed to ensure the development of core skills at each age group level starting from youngsters at elementary age up until graduates.”

The six-month programme allows selected individuals to work as full-time interns across Bahrain Bourse and Bahrain Clear, securing advanced training in trading skills, research methods, and Capital Market financial analysis.

Furthermore, the interns will benefit from the opportunity to network with and learn from decision-makers in the capital market. Throughout the duration, interns will rotate among several directorates within Bahrain Bourse and Bahrain Clear including the following: Trading Operations, Listing and Disclosures, Marketing and Business Development, Murabaha Unit, Risk & Compliance, and Financial and Accounting Affairs.

Additionally, interns will learn the skills necessary to pursue high-level career opportunities in the Capital Market.

To short-list applications, the programme is divided into 3 phases that assess applicants and evaluate their performance through evaluation assessments and interviews.

Interns will be awarded a certificate of participation as well as an appraisal letter outlining their important characteristics for potential employers.
