Mobiz and ThinkSmart Collaborate to Equip Bahraini and Saudi Youth with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Skills

Manama, Bahrain – 7 May 2025 – Mobiz IT and ThinkSmart Gulf have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch a Microsoft Dynamics 365 internship and training program aimed at empowering youth in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with in-demand digital and business application skills.

This partnership marks a significant step toward bridging the gap between academic learning and industry needs. Through practical internships, real-world projects, and expert-led training, the initiative supports national workforce transformation goals in line with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategies.

Mobiz IT will offer internships that may lead to employment opportunities, providing students with real-world exposure and industry experience. ThinkSmart will deliver the training component, equipping participants with hands-on Microsoft Dynamics 365 skills through instructor-led, practical sessions that align with current market needs.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Aakash Munjal, General Manager of ThinkSmart Gulf, stated “At ThinkSmart, we believe that learning should not stop at the classroom. Through this strategic alliance with Mobiz, we are enabling our students to take their first step into the professional world—working with real companies, on real challenges, and gaining the skills and exposure required to succeed in today’s job market.”

This partnership coincides with rapid technological growth across the GCC, where Microsoft operates cloud data centers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Kuwait’s recent agreement with Microsoft to host a new data center further highlights the rising value of Microsoft Dynamics 365 in the regional workforce. These developments create a dynamic ecosystem that underscores the need for targeted training programs such as this one.

Hamad Riaz, CEO of Mobiz IT, added: “Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers the ideal foundation to train Gulf youth in modern business applications. Its powerful, AI-enabled tools span finance, sales, customer service, and supply chain, making it a key driver of productivity and innovation. By launching this program, we’re equipping the next generation with the skills to lead the region’s digital future.”

Hamdan Chitari, Operations Manager at Mobiz, noted: “Companies using Dynamics 365 have seen a 106% ROI increase and a 40% reduction in call handling time. These results demonstrate its power, and we are excited to raise awareness of its benefits through this program.”

By equipping young professionals with Microsoft Dynamics 365 expertise, the Mobiz–ThinkSmart partnership lays the foundation for a digitally skilled workforce ready to drive innovation and competitiveness across the Gulf region.
