What does it take to build a nation’s future tech talent pipeline?
In this episode of BiG Talk, I sit down with Yanal Jallad, Managing Director of Reboot Coding Institute, one of Bahrain’s leading platforms for developing future-ready software developers, AI talent, and tech professionals
Reboot is not a traditional school, it is a project-based, real-world learning environment designed to produce job-ready developers who can compete globally.
Backed by ecosystem partners and aligned with Bahrain’s national digital transformation goals, Reboot is helping bridge the gap between education, industry, and employment.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- How Bahrain is building its tech talent ecosystem
- Why traditional education is no longer enough
- The rise of AI, coding, and future skills in the GCC
- How Reboot trains real-world developers, not just graduates
- The role of industry partnerships in shaping education
- Why companies struggle to find job-ready talent
- What entrepreneurs can learn from building a large-scale education platform
- The future of tech, startups, and digital jobs in Bahrain
If you are an entrepreneur, investor, policymaker, or student — this episode gives you real insight into how Bahrain is positioning itself for the digital economy.
