Bahrain training institutes in deal to boost national workforce skills

Trade Arabia06-04-2025

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.

Court annuls car deal over altered chassis

Tampering with a car's chassis number has cost a Bahraini seller BD14,625 after a court annulled the deal, ruling the buyer could not register the vehicle in his Gulf country due to the altered markings. The High Civil Court found that the vehicle's identification had been interfered with, preventing its registration abroad and rendering it useless for road use. The judge ordered the seller to return the full amount paid and to cover the cost of an expert's report, along with legal fees. Bank transfer The buyer had paid BD14,625 by bank transfer after agreeing the price with the seller. The vehicle was then shipped overseas. There, it failed inspection. The anti-counterfeiting division examined the chassis and spotted signs that the number had been tampered with. The traffic directorate refused to process registration. Knowledge The buyer, who had no knowledge of any tampering, hired a technical expert. On inspecting the car, the expert noted welding, sanding, and fresh paint around the area where the chassis number had been stamped. He concluded that the car carried a concealed fault: a forged number that made the vehicle unfit for legal use. Lawyer Sara Ali, acting for the buyer, told the court that her client was misled and that the car's condition amounted to a breach of contract. Contract She relied on Article 141(a) of the Civil Code, which allows one side to cancel a contract if the other fails to do their part. She also cited Article 415, which makes a seller liable for faults that reduce an item's use or worth, even if they were unaware of the defect, and Article 425, which gives the buyer the right to cancel the sale or demand payment if the item doesn't match what was promised. The court said the buyer could no longer make use of the car as intended and that the tampering destroyed the purpose of the sale. The inspection report from the Gulf state's crime unit and the expert's findings were enough to show the vehicle had been altered. The judge ordered the buyer to return the car. The seller must repay the BD14,625 and cover BD250 in expert costs. Both sides were told to pay their share of court fees.

‘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.
