MANAMA: Alba has rolled out the ‘Al Jisr’ Programme – a new training and development initiative which aims to build supervisory skills in its national workforce.
The programme targets Bahraini employees from within non-supervisory ranks while providing them with the technical and soft skills training through a four-year period, making them eligible to apply for supervisory vacancies upon successful completion.
The programme reduces the timeframe for promotion to supervisory roles by more than half.
A weeklong virtual interactive awareness campaign was organised by the smelter to familiarise all candidates on the application criteria and selection process which will be managed by a specialised external party.
On the launch of the initiative, Alba chief executive Ali Al Baqali said: “Boosting Bahrainisation has always been one of our top priorities. With the Al Jisr Programme, we aim to train and develop our high-potential national employees whom we consider our greatest assets.”
He added, “We aim to invest in our people who then become Alba’s future leaders to translate our vision – to be the number one aluminium supplier for the generations to come.”
The programme will complement Alba’s master training plan, which was launched in October 2019 as a customised development initiative to meet the needs of every job and employee in the company.
