His Excellency added that, in light of the directives of His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, a joint team will be formed immediately, in coordination with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs. This team will formulate a joint action plan between the two ministries to present to His Highness a comprehensive vision to accelerate the employment of Bahraini youth and to continue developing the programmes, plans and strategies set to integrate graduates into the labour market, including whatever the committee deems appropriate solutions that contribute to achieving the desired goals. Humaidan renewed his thanks to His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa for these directives and initiatives that support Bahraini youth in various fields, expressing hope that the joint team will deliver results that meet His Highness’s aspirations to expedite the employment of young job seekers.
