Education_BH: Innovation and Excellence celebrates the remarkable innovations implemented in Bahrain’s schools and universities. We learned about these innovations, the process, the challenges, and the lessons learned from some of the leading educational institutions in the Kingdom.
Read all about the General Assembly‘s innovation below.
General Assembly’s tech bootcamps provide intensive, hands-on training in software engineering and data analytics for Bahrainis. The programme offers two flexible modalities: full-time for job seekers and students, and part-time for working professionals looking at career changes or career development and advancement.
We have launched our programs in 2 new modalities to cater for every Bahraini in Bahrain. Existing full-time for job seekers and students, part-time for employees, career changers and career development for employees who want to get promoted in their company.
We launched in batches with one month apart, so we have time to navigate challenges and solve them before the launch of the second program.
Timing was a bit hard for the students since the bootcamp is hands-on and very intensive; it needs students to be attentive, and they can’t skip classes, which means they finish work at 5 and come to class from 6 to 9.
We successfully launched and graduated batches from different cohorts, like Software Engineering and data analytics, and the graduated employees are using the skills they learned in the bootcamp at work, opening new opportunities for them to grow.
Bahrainis are eager to learn if the medium and facilities are available and what they are learning is wanted in the job market. We wouldn’t have changed a thing, as the things we changed down the line were minor and could have been done at any point.
