Career and Employment Centre

careers4 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.
