Bayt, the leader in online recruitment in the Middle East, has teamed up with another leader in the field of Executive Education in the Middle East - Leading Concepts - to offer superior training and development opportunities to the region. These executive programs are targeted towards middle and senior management, and cover a variety of subjects from marketing, strategy and leadership, to finance and more. The courses are offered in partnership with three of the world's leading business schools - Stanford Business School, University of Michigan Business School and Columbia Business School - with whom Leading Concepts has exclusive partnerships for the Middle East region. The average course lasts three days and is structured to help facilitate the self-learning process and create an unprecedented setting that nurtures professional growth and development.
This alliance is further evidence of Bayt's commitment to provide professionals in the region with tools and information that will empower them to make optimum career choices and have opportunities to grow and develop as professionals. The objective is to provide individuals with opportunities to enhance their skills and hence make them more "marketable" for the best jobs.

We will strive to offer the widest choice of training and development resources to all our users," commented Mona Ataya.
