Improving Bahrain's labour market

Bahrain is already home to a skilled and flexible workforce, meeting the needs of new and traditional businesses.  Over the last 18 months, however, new initiatives have been progressed to ensure the strengths of the workforce develop even further in the future.

Under legislation currently passing through Parliament, there will be support for businesses investing in training and development of core and specialist skills for Bahrainis, as well as Government-led initiatives to encourage the development of sector-specific skills within Bahrain.

New systems are also planned for the registration and monitoring of expat employees, to ensure the correct skills are being brought into the Kingdom.

Together, these initiatives will build even further the skills available to employers in Bahrain.
