Bahrain Reaffirms Commitment to Empowering National Talent

His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, has consistently reaffirmed the Kingdom’s strong commitment to empowering, supporting, and upskilling its national workforce, in line with the far-reaching visions of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

At the heart of this commitment is the creation of quality opportunities for Bahraini citizens, placing them at the centre of the Kingdom’s development and economic plans. The government continues to prioritise policies that ensure Bahrainis are equipped with the skills and capabilities needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving labour market.

A range of government programmes and initiatives have been implemented to generate employment opportunities for citizens, including schemes that provide multiple job options for registered job seekers. These efforts focus on nurturing national talent across key sectors, including engineering, technology, and other high-value industries, while aligning skills development with market needs.

His Royal Highness has also underscored the importance of strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors. The private sector is recognised as the primary engine of economic growth and a vital partner in national development, playing a central role in creating sustainable jobs and driving innovation.

Investment in human capital remains a cornerstone of Bahrain’s strategy. Through training programmes, professional development initiatives, and platforms such as the Fikra government innovation competition and the Prime Minister’s Fellowship Programme, the Kingdom aims to enhance professional capabilities and foster a culture of excellence, creativity, and innovation among its workforce.

Ensuring that the benefits of economic growth directly reach citizens is another key priority. By broadening development opportunities across all sectors, Bahrain seeks to build a resilient, inclusive economy that delivers long-term prosperity and empowers its people to contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress.
