Reboot Expands AI Education in Bahrain with First-of-its-Kind Programs to Equip Youth with Future-Ready Skills
Reboot Coding Institute, the Kingdom's largest tech hub and coding program focused on nurturing future tech talent, is strengthening its commitment to advancing Bahrain's AI capabilities with two new initiatives designed to empower professionals and youth with future-ready skills. Reboot will launch the AI Generalists Program this September, with the goal of training 1,000 individuals per year. The program is designed to equip Bahraini professionals with practical AI skills to enhance productivity, integrate AI tools into business operations, and drive innovation across sectors such as Industry & Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Education, Start-Up, and Healthcare. The course covers key topics such as AI-assisted automation, prompt engineering, ethical AI use, and hands-on applications in sectors like education, finance, and healthcare. Participants who complete the program will receive Ministry of Labor accredited certificates, gaining a competitive edge in an evolving job market. Complementing this professional focus, Reboot will also lead the AI First Training Program at Youth City 2025, introducing young learners aged 15 and above to coding and generative AI through immersive, project-based workshops. Designed by 01Edu, the program will be the first of its kind to be conducted in the GCC, blending coding fundamentals with AI exploration in a gamified, collaborative learning environment. In just five days, participants will progress from no prior experience to creating functional web projects, developing teamwork and problem-solving skills, and understanding how AI can be used as a creative tool rather than a replacement for human effort. These initiatives build on Reboot's broader AI education framework, which also includes an AI Specialization Track within its flagship two-year coding program. This six-month, project-based deep dive takes learners through the full data science pipeline using Python, covering data analysis, machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning. Reboot's impact is already evident through its growing community of graduates working as AI Engineers at leading organizations, including Raincode, where they build AI solutions for banks and companies across Europe; KPMG's AI Department, contributing to enterprise and government-level AI and ML solutions; and Al Salam Bank, where they support the bank's internal AI solutions team. 'Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping every sector, and it's crucial that Bahrain's workforce is ready to lead, not just adapt. Through the AI Generalists Program and the AI First workshops at Youth City 2025, we're making AI skills accessible to both professionals and the youth, helping them apply these tools ethically and effectively. Combined with our in-depth AI specialization track, we're creating clear pathways for anyone to move from AI fundamentals to advanced applications that solve real-world challenges.' said Yanal Jallad, Reboot's Managing Director. These initiatives reaffirm Reboot Coding Institute's role as a leading provider of future-focused tech education in Bahrain, bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real-world applications.

We stopped teaching like its 1985. Here's what happened.
TDT | Manama You're 24. You walk into a job interview with a global tech firm. It's your dream role. A panel of three stares back at you, resumes in hand. The questions come fast. Go-to-market strategy for the UAE. Pricing model for a new subscription-based product. A curveball on AI ethics. You're nervous, but not frozen. You've been here before. Not once or twice, but again and again over the past week. What the panel doesn't know is that you've faced these exact questions. At 10 PM, 2 AM, whenever you needed to. Not with YouTube videos or coaching classes, but with an AI tutor that's been part of your MBA journey from day one, fully integrated into your curriculum. This tutor didn't spoon-feed answers or give generic hacks. It interrogated your thinking. Pulled up real questions asked by real companies. Challenged your logic until your answers held up under pressure. It even pushed back: 'What is the risk you're not seeing here?' or 'That answer sounds safe. Do you actually believe it?' This wasn't revision, it was targeted career prep shaped around you. And by the time you sat in that interview, you were ready. Sounds like a future ambition? It's not. It's happening right now at SP Jain School of Global Management. Students are showing up sharper. Cracking interviews in half the attempts it used to take. Not because they studied harder, but because we stopped teaching like it's 1985. Learning that listens, not lectures Walk into most university classrooms today, and you'll feel like you've stepped into a time capsule. A professor stands at the front, delivering a lecture. Students take notes. Then comes the exam, the grade, the degree. A model that hasn't changed in over a century. Meanwhile, the world outside is moving at warp speed. Job roles are being reinvented. Skills go obsolete in months. AI and automation are rewriting the rules. And yet, education remains slow, standardised, one-size-fits-all. The disconnect keeps growing, and students are the ones paying for it. So at SP Jain Global, we didn't just tweak the old model. We asked: what would learning look like if we built it for tomorrow's learners? The answer was AI. Not as a chatbot or a shiny tool on the side, but as the foundation. That's how we built AI-ELT, our AI-enabled learning assistant, to become a core part of how our students learn. Supporting the UAE's vision for AI As the first country in the world with a dedicated Minister of Artificial Intelligence and with a bold National Strategy for AI 2031, the UAE is actively shaping the future of global innovation. From the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to introduce AI as a formal subject across K–12 schools in September 2025, to planning to issue over 100,000 Golden Visas to AI professionals, the country is investing deeply in building future-ready human capital to support the adoption of AI in the region. At SP Jain, we see it as our responsibility to carry His Highness' vision forward. Our AI-ELT virtual tutor is integrated into the learning curriculum from day one, equipping students with the skills to understand, apply, and adapt AI tools in real-world settings. As industries increasingly adopt AI across all sectors, we aim to prepare students for careers that align with this shift, ensuring they graduate with both the skills and mindset to thrive in an AI-integrated workplace. With an ambitious AI strategy and strong government support, there is no better city in the world than Dubai for a student looking to pursue a future career in artificial intelligence. More than technology. It's intent. AI-ELT wasn't built to just deliver content or run base-level quizzes. It was built to question you, challenge you, push you. It prepares you before class. Supports you after class. And sharpens your thinking when no one else is around. It takes you from two to four to six to ten. Step by step, until your thinking holds up anywhere. Imagine the confidence with which you enter class. You're energised because you're no longer scrambling to understand the basics. You've covered that with the AI already. You're ready to speak up. To debate. To make decisions. And so is everyone else. Class time shifts from what to why. From definitions to decisions. It becomes a live, intellectual workout. Faster-paced. More demanding. Infinitely more valuable. Even quiet students speak up because they've already done the hard thinking in private, with the AI-ELT forcing them to clarify and commit to their ideas. That's the real power of AI in education. Not automation. Not convenience. Not replacing teachers. But transformation. Removing the parts of education that never really worked. The lectures no one remembers. The surface-level prep. The guesswork. It's about creating thinkers, not note-takers. It's about turning classrooms into conversations. And most of all, it's about giving every student, not just the lucky few, access to the kind of deep, personal mentorship and learning that actually sticks. This is what education should have been all along. And now, it finally is.
