'Tamkeen's support for the career progression of national talent in the private sector – whether through wage support or enabling them to assume leadership roles – is part of a strategic framework that aims to position the Bahraini citizen as the first choice of employment in the labour market.

Mr. AlJanahi added: 'We take pride in having achieved a Bahrainization rate of 93.8% at Benefit with a team of 162 employees and as we move forward, we aim to expand employment opportunities for Bahrainis and align our efforts with the national vision for increased Bahrainization. Benefit has long played a leadership role in empowering local talent through graduate training programs, clear pathways for career development and a culture that recognizes and rewards excellence.' Established in November 1997 as an ambitious initiative by 17 commercial banks, the Benefit Company aims to be the national network for ATMs and points-of-sale in Bahrain. The company is licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain as an ancillary service provider to the financial sector and has expanded its services to markets beyond Bahrain.
