“The best part of my journey as a student in the Forsati Program, has been the training and the constant support the ThinkSmart Team gives to all their students. The ThinkSmart Team helped me in gaining an internship at GBM (Gulf Business Machines B.S.C) as a System Analyst Intern. I highly recommend all Fresh IT Graduates to join the Forsati program which will give you the skills, knowledge and potential to gain internships in some of the top companies in Bahrain and to secure jobs in the future!”
