Career and Employment Centre

Career development in the 21st century is defined as the process of managing life, learning and work over the whole lifespan. Because the labour market is constantly changing, students need to learn how to choose, develop and manage their career.

The Career and Employment Centre at Bahrain Polytechnic is a unit that helps students make career and learning choices and helps them gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to effectively manage their career. As a Bahrain Polytechnic student you can use the Career and Employment Centre for making decisions, for planning, for support and for information at any time during your studies. Furthermore, the Career & Employment Centre works closely with industry partners to provide students and graduates with internships, part time and full time and opportunities in Bahrain and around the world.

Employment and Employability

Bahrain Polytechnic’s concern does not finish when students complete their studies. It also extends to its graduates. The Polytechnic conducts periodic phone surveys to monitor graduates’ achievements with regard to their employment. Bahrain Polytechnic has followed this practice since it had its first batch of graduates and results to date are very encouraging. Our Career and Employment Centre continues to help our graduates in the process of obtaining employment.

Employability Skills

Bahrain Polytechnic missioned to prepare its graduates to be work ready in order to adapt to the economic dynamics of the local, regional and international market. We used the conceptual approach to define Employability at the institution and created a contextualized Employability framework. The position of the learners in the framework indicates the acknowledgment of the institution of the services that rotate around them.

Graduates Recruitment Event

Bahrain Polytechnic offers graduating students the opportunity to market themselves in front of numerous employers from various industries in order to be noticed and get employment opportunities. The graduates have a few minutes to present themselves on stage in front of many Human Resource managers and hiring companies on why they should work at their company. These graduates are also given the opportunity to network with professionals and get their individual interviews during the event. This service is offered by the Career Employment Centre.
