A TOTAL of 300 jobs would be provided by Al Rashid Group to Bahraini jobseekers listed by the National Training and Employment Programme.

The jobs that would be provided in phases are part of a memorandum of understanding between the group and the Ministry of Labour that was signed yesterday.

The Undersecretary at the ministry, Shaikh Abdulruhman Al Khalifa, praised the cooperation of the private sector in fighting unemployment.

The group will offer 150 full time jobs for minimum wage of BD200 and 150 part time jobs for minimum wage of BD100.

Shaikh Abdulrahman appreciated the efforts of the group to find part time jobs for mothers who normally cannot work full time because of family responsibilities.
