Enterprise-wide cloud introductory training

The Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) is an investment promotion agency with overall responsibility for attracting investment into the Kingdom and supporting initiatives that enhance the investment climate.

The EDB was keen to provide its client-facing teams with an upskilling session on cloud computing in order to introduce a baseline for its staff and selected drie to conduct a respective training course.
