Manama – INJAZ Bahrain today announced that in cooperation with NGN International, a leading systems integrator and managed security services provider, and FinMark Communications, the founders and organisations of the annual Mentorship Forum Middle East, a new youth-focused mentorship platform has been launched in order to boost employability and give young people the support and skills they require to thrive in an increasingly competitive  marketplace.

This initiative is another strategic milestone for INJAZ Bahrain in its ongoing mission to prepare young Bahrainis to succeed in a global economy. The platform, which will be launched and active by First quarter of 2023, will gather national, regional, and global mentors from across diverse industries and match them with young adults with similar interests and aspirations.

This platform will be an exclusive place where leaders of prime organisations get to coach and inspire youth to be successful and active contributors to their economies. The project will connect youth, bring together countries, and help develop capabilities through networking via a sophisticated and an easy-to-use platform to be developed by NGN International. FinMark Communications will work with INJAZ and NGN, leveraging its Mentorship Forum Middle East platform, to bring capable mentors that have taken part as speakers, panelists and attendees at its annual mentorship events since its launch in 2019. 

Commenting, H.H. Sheikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, INJAZ Bahrain Chairperson, commented, “At INJAZ, we believe in the potential of youth and this will be a collaboration that will be spearheaded by INJAZ Bahrain for connecting youth across borders. This partnership will open doors for Bahraini youth and youth across the globe to connect and learn from leading mentors who equally believe in empowering youth and create success stories. We are excited to partner with NGN and FinMark who will be supporting us on launching this platform and building the right technology to meet the needs of our youth.”

Mr. Yaqoob Al Awadhi, founder and CEO of the NGN Group expressed his eagerness to harness all experiences and capabilities in establishing this platform and providing it with the best technical systems and cutting-edge applications to accomplish the desired objectives with the maximum possible effectiveness.

He added “we are excited for being a part of this pioneering national project, which is part of the NGN Center's commitment to boosting the knowledge and skills of Bahraini cadres, enhancing their competitiveness, and ensuring that they fulfil current and future labor market needs through effective mentorship.”

Concluding, Ms. Zahraa Taher, Managing Director of FinMark Communications, said, “As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the adoption of mentorship, we’re delighted to support INJAZ launching this pioneering platform to connect youth with high quality mentors that can help shape and prepare them to enter into and succeed in the job market. We continue to have a strong response from potential mentors to take part and support the platform and look forward to its launch in the near future.”
