Zain Bahrain concludes Data Analytics Accelerator Program for its employees

In efforts to continue its advancement in the technology sector, Zain Bahrain (BSE: ZAINBH), recently conducted Data Analytics Accelerator Program in collaboration with General Assembly and sponsored by the Labor Fund (Tamkeen) for its employees.

The five-day training program mainly focused on the latest technologies for data analysis in the telecommunication sector. Participants were introduced to the best ways for Data Communication, Data Narratives, and Mapping in Tableau along with a final project to implement the skills learned in the program.

Rana Al Majed, Chief Human Resources Officer at Zain Bahrain said, "Zain Bahrain has continuously provided employees with the tools and training needed to support their professional development and career growth. The Data Analytics Accelerator Program in collaboration with General Assembly and Tamkeen has enhanced employee skills in the technology field and helped widen their scope as it is one of Zain Bahrain's key focus areas."
 
Roger Lee, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at General Assembly added, "The fact that 91% of talent leaders aren't completely confident that they will fill their technical roles is a clear indicator that the global tech talent shortage isn't going away. Employers have not only an urgent need but a responsibility to invest in giving talent the skills they need so that they themselves can survive and thrive in today's digital-first world. We are thrilled to partner with businesses such as Zain Bahrain and Tamkeen to infuse the Bahraini economy with in-demand skills."
 
The telco is highly invested in its workforce, providing a versatile training platform with different training sessions monthly, targeting different skillsets with each session.
