Bahrain’s Labour Fund has rolled out an ambitious five-year strategy focused on strengthening the Kingdom’s economy by empowering the national workforce. This fresh plan emphasizes the importance of making Bahrain’s national workforce the preferred choice for employment. It also aims to support the growth of local businesses.
The strategy centers on two main goals: developing talent and boosting private sector enterprises. By achieving these goals, the Labour Fund plans to build a resilient and competitive economy for Bahrain. Over the next five years, the fund will provide Bahrainis with more training, career development opportunities, and help create jobs.
So far, the Labour Fund has made remarkable strides. In just the first nine months of this year, over 14,000 Bahrainis joined the workforce. More than 17,800 people benefited from training programs, while more than 5,900 businesses received support. These efforts have helped boost productivity, encourage innovation, and accelerate digital transformation across different industries.
A key part of this strategy is the Digital Enablement Programme, which helps companies adopt digital tools and solutions. Businesses can choose from two options: either pick from a list of approved digital service providers or select a service provider of their own choice. This flexible approach makes sure companies find the best fit for their digital needs.
Looking ahead, the Labour Fund’s five-year plan highlights a strong commitment to developing Bahrain’s national workforce and advancing digital progress. By aligning with the Kingdom’s broader economic goals, this plan positions Bahrain as a leader in regional economic growth and innovation.
With ongoing support and investment, Bahrain’s national workforce is set to become the preferred choice in a rapidly changing job market. This period promises exciting opportunities for both workers and businesses.
