HH Shaikh Isa bin Salman Chairs Tamkeen's Q2 2025 Board of Directors Meeting
The meeting reviewed Tamkeen's achievements during the first half of the year, outlined the strategic priorities for 2025, and provided updates on support extended through its three main packages: Employment Support, Career Development Support, and Enterprise Support.
His Highness underscored the importance of investing in Bahraini talent to cultivate a skilled national workforce. This vision is pursued by creating further opportunities for Bahrainis to upskill and enhance their capabilities, empowering them to excel across various sectors, in line with the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the unwavering efforts of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
His Highness highlighted the importance of continuing to implement targeted initiatives that position Bahrainis as the first choice of employment, while equipping them for future-oriented jobs—particularly in fields requiring technical expertise and artificial intelligence.
Furthermore, His Highness issued directives to launch programmes that support SMEs in adopting cutting-edge technologies to drive business growth. These efforts align with the previously announced initiative to train 50,000 Bahrainis in artificial intelligence, as outlined in the last Board of Directors meeting.
During the meeting, Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, Chief Executive of Tamkeen, presented an overview of Tamkeen's accomplishments in the first half of the year. These included support for over 7,700 Bahrainis entering the labour market, more than 9,200 Bahrainis benefiting from training and career development initiatives, and assistance extended to over 3,600 enterprises across various sectors to foster growth, drive digital transformation, and enhance productivity.
The Board was also briefed on key upcoming plans aligned with Tamkeen's strategic priorities for the year. These priorities focus on enhancing the competitiveness of Bahrainis in the private sector, equipping them with future-ready skills, driving enterprise growth and digitisation, and strengthening the broader ecosystem surrounding the labour market and private sector.
