As part of its Global Ready Talent Programme, the Labour Fund Tamkeen signed an agreement with the American University in Bahrain (AUBH) to provide training opportunities for its students at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for a full year.

Two students were selected for this year’s internship: Mohamed Jaafar, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Noor Abduljalil, Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

The internships offer Bahraini students the opportunity to hone their skills through exposure to CERN’s cutting-edge science.

One of the world’s leading scientific research institutions, particularly in the fields of elementary particle physics, CERN studies the fundamental components of matter, while exploring the secrets of the universe.

It operates the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in addition to managing the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. One of CERN’s most important projects is the Large Hadron Collider, which involves thousands of scientists and researchers from countries around the world.

Tamkeen Chief Executive, Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, said, “This partnership with CERN embodies our commitment to international cooperation in vital sectors, as well as enhancing Bahrain’s position as an active member in CERN projects.”

AUBH President, Dr. Bradley Cook, said, “We are eager to connect our students with international opportunities and nurture their professional experience to help them achieve their future aspirations. We hope this partnership with Tamkeen will continue to offer such opportunities to our students.”

Tamkeen’s Global Ready Talent program has successfully placed 98 Bahrainis across diverse sectors, providing them with valuable experience, skill enhancement, and exposure to international work environments.
