Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba)’s backing for initiatives that enable young Bahrainis to acquire well-informed understanding of the work environment was given impetus as Alba welcomed a group of students from inJAz Bahrain for a two-week long ‘Company’ internship programme that began on Sunday, January 29, 2012. The students are being placed in different departments across the organisation throughout the two-week internship programme.

During their time in Alba, they are expected to learn about each department’s responsibilities, gain insights into day-to-day operations, learn how challenges – if any – are overcome, and how departmental goals are tied up with organisational goals.

Alba is one of a select group of companies that is part of inJAz Bahrain’s ‘Company’ internship programme.

It allows young students the opportunity of gaining exposure to work environment in leading companies in Bahrain, and learn first-hand of their success stories.

Commenting on Alba’s participation in inJAz Bahrain’s Company internship programme, Alba’s Chief Executive, Laurent Schmitt said: “Bahrain’s future growth depends upon the investments we make in the youth of today.

They are the leaders of tomorrow whose decisions will impact the economic and industrial life of the future.

We are proud of the work inJAz Bahrain is doing in making all of this possible and in ensuring that today’s students emerge as tomorrow’s leaders.”inJAz Bahrain was established in 2005 as a non-profit organisation dedicated towards developing young peoples’ understanding of the economy and how business operates.

It receives support from the private sector both financially and through active involvement of volunteers in delivering its programmes.

Alba has been a consistent supporter of inJAz Bahrain whose programmes reach more than 8,000 students every academic year.
