Tamkeen to offer training for Bahrainis in cloud computing

To help the Kingdom follow through with its big plans, Tamkeen will offer training for Bahrainis in cloud computing apart from funding costs for businesses to migrate into cloud computing.

Tamkeen will support Bahrainis who wish to be certified in AWS by funding their education in the field. It will also pay for services from AWS for Bahraini businesses and the support will cover the reimbursement of 100 per cent of the cost for the initial 18 months of the three-year contract with Tamkeen.

Cloud computing is expected to promote efficiency for businesses and according to Tamkeen its latest scheme “aims to enhance the efficiency and security of business operations in the country”.

“The financial support scheme from the Labour Fund ‘Tamkeen’ covers the cost of cloud computing services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) for interested and eligible enterprises, SMEs, and start-ups.

Cloud Computing Services has been included as part of Tamkeen’s Enterprise Support Programme to enhance the efficiency, security and effectiveness of businesses’ operations with access to more than 125 services offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS),” Tamkeen stated.
