The American University of Bahrain (AUBH) and Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company (Mumtalakat) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to build the employment-readiness of the university’s students through joint initiatives that will equip them with valuable market and business skills, knowledge and practical experience.

This agreement will enable AUBH to provide its students with a holistic educational experience, which is in line with its educational philosophy and it will equip its graduates with skills needed for today’s job market. AUBH Founding President Dr Susan E. Saxton commented: “I am thrilled to announce this partnership with Mumtalakat.

We are very proud of the progress we are making in providing our students with the opportunities and the resources they need, in order to gain a greater understanding of how their field of interest works, beyond academia and into the real world. The establishment of AUBH supports the Kingdom in its quest to achieve academic excellence.
