Bahrain training institutes in deal to boost national workforce skills
The Bahrain Society of Private Training Institutes (BSPTI) has reiterated its firm commitment to deepening collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, with the shared goal of enhancing national competencies and equipping Bahraini talent with the resources and skills necessary to excel in an increasingly competitive labour market.
This initiative aims to harness and invest in the capabilities of local professionals as a sustainable pillar for national development across various sectors, said senior officials of the BSPTI during an official meeting held at the ministry's headquarters.
It was attended by Dr Yousif bin Abdulhussain Khalaf, the Bahrain Minister of Legal Affairs and Acting Labour Minister, and BSPTI Chairman Nawaf Al Jishi along with its board members.
The discussions focused on strengthening avenues for joint cooperation to enhance the effectiveness of training programmes tailored for Bahraini nationals.
Lauding Dr Khalaf's efforts in advancing this critical agenda, Al Jishi said his ministry had played a vital role in stabilising the private training sector and helping them grow.
He highlighted the significance of delivering high-calibre training programmes that not only prepare the national workforce but also position them as top-tier candidates for employment in both public and private sectors.
Emphasis was placed on the importance of improving programme outcomes to align with current labour market demands, raising overall quality and efficiency standards, and ensuring that national training initiatives reflect the evolving nature of work - particularly in response to ongoing technological advancements.
These developments necessitate equipping trainees with forward-looking, market-relevant skills, he added.
Al Jishi said the strategic initiatives undertaken by the Society, in partnership with various private training institutes, are instrumental in supporting the integration of Bahraini citizens into the labour market.
"These efforts are designed to provide the economy with qualified, skilled professionals who are equipped to meet the evolving demands of today's workplace," he stated.

‘A mark of pride for Muslims everywhere'
MP Ahmed Al Salloom has praised the smooth running of this year's Hajj, calling it 'a mark of pride for Muslims everywhere'. Crowds were managed with care, and pilgrims approached the rituals calmly and without trouble. The scale of preparation, he said, was striking. The credit, he added, lay with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Salloom, Chairman of Parliament's financial committee, thanked Bahrain's leadership for helping its pilgrims. Royal guidance He thanked His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, saying their guidance and steady oversight helped ensure pilgrims from Bahrain received what they needed to carry out the rituals calmly and without trouble. He also praised King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their care for the pilgrims. The transport, shelters, and the helping hands, he said, showed just how much had been put in to ease the strain on those making the journey. He credited Bahrain's Hajj mission. Staff kept a close eye on local pilgrims and worked closely with other bodies. It showed a strong sense of duty and teamwork, he said. Al Salloom said the results spoke plainly. From Saudi planning to Bahraini support, the cooperation was clear. And behind it all, he added, was one shared aim, to serve the pilgrims and honour the faith.

Bahrain Builds Crypto Hub
TDT | Manama As Bitcoin rebounds globally, Bahrain is quietly building its own digital gold rush. Supported by progressive regulation and hightech infrastructure, the Kingdom is emerging as a serious contender in the global cryptocurrency mining market, and one Bahraini firm says it is only the beginning. Rising global role Crypto Miners, a company specialising in the sale, installation, and maintenance of mining equipment, says the sector's growing momentum within Bahrain is helping reinforce the Kingdom's position as a competitive regional hub with global potential. The company believes this development is also drawing more foreign direct investment into Bahrain's digital economy. 'Bahrain's financial ecosystem and regulatory clarity give us the ability to grow sustainably and export our services abroad,' said Wassim Saaduddin, Technical Sales Manager at Crypto Miners. He added that the Kingdom is uniquely placed to serve as a launchpad for international crypto operations, thanks to its policy stability and infrastructure. Infrastructure and awareness At the core of Crypto Miners' strategy is a vision to localise this high-tech industry, building critical infrastructure , training Bahraini talent , and supporting knowledge transfer. The company also sees awareness as essential to sustainable sector growth, and says it actively runs public engagement campaigns to help familiarise Bahrainis with digital currencies and blockchain. 'As part of our corporate social responsibility, we're committed to raising awareness about digital assets and creating safe, reliable investment pathways,' Saaduddin noted. Aligned with national vision Crypto Miners says its longterm efforts are in full alignment with Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030, which prioritises innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable growth. The company believes that positioning Bahrain as a regional and global leader in crypto mining is not only realistic, but already in progress. With firms like Crypto Miners anchoring the sector, Bahrain appears to be gaining traction in a space once dominated by much larger economies.
