NBB Concludes EVOLVE 2025 Summer Internship Programme

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has successfully concluded the fourth edition of its flagship summer internship programme, EVOLVE. Building on the impact of last year’s programme, the 2025 edition was delivered in two distinct phases tailored for school and university students, offering them the chance to develop technical and soft skills needed to excel in the financial services sector.

Attendees took part in classroom sessions led by NBB employees and industry experts, followed by immersive on-the-job placements across the Bank’s various departments. This sector-specific learning journey was complemented by team-building workshops, sign language session, cultural awareness sessions, and first-aid training to nurture well-rounded, socially conscious future professionals.

Commenting on the occasion, Maram Buallay, Acting Group Chief Human Resources Officer at NBB, said, “More than just an internship programme, EVOLVE has become a national platform for youth development built on our belief that investing in the next generation is essential to the Kingdom’s long-term growth. Through our partnerships and internal expertise, we have created an environment where students are exposed to the highest standards of theoretical knowledge and professional practice. This edition of EVOLVE has further reinforced our commitment to ensuring that our national talent pipeline is ready to contribute meaningfully to Bahrain’s ongoing transformation.We congratulate this year’s graduating participants and wish them continued success in achieving their ambitions.”

EVOLVE 2025 was delivered in collaboration with a wide network of leading academic institutions, charitable organisations, and training providers across the Kingdom. These partnerships played an instrumental role in delivering a holistic learning experience aligned with the needs of Bahrain’s labour market.
