“This is certainly a historic moment for us. All the candidates are worthy of being excellent ambassadors for Bahrain Polytechnic and the Kingdom.
“Each person will play a huge part in this club, and on behalf of the executive management, I wish them the best of luck.” said the Acting CEO.
The club members were briefed on several main points to keep in mind as per their roles. At the end of the meeting, the club members held an official gathering to discuss further plans.
Club president of the Polytechnic, Isa Al Samaim, stated: “We have lots of plans and ambitions for the Alumni Club, such as organizing a variety of events that brings together all the graduates of Polytechnic together.
“We also plan to hold seminars and conferences that discuss and put the most important issues affecting the Kingdom of Bahrain, such as labor market requirements and aspirations of young Bahrainis.
“As the Bahrain Polytechnic Alumni Club Chairman, I would like to encourage all of Polytechnic graduates to join their friends in the alumni club as the registration process will be announced for the public in the near futures.” concluded Isa Al Samaim.
Mariam Alawadhi, Club vice-president, added: “My hopes are that this alumni club will be a great door for Bahrain Polytechnic graduates to communicate with the Polytechnic about anything they want. Moreover, this alumni club will allow all of us [former students] to reconnect and gather with each other after being separated in our own different busy lives just like we used to do when we were students. Hopefully, this club will be part of the amazing journey that the Polytechnic have had so far and will continue having in the future.”
