Within the framework of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development’s efforts to accelerate the integration of national competencies into private‑sector establishments, employment contracts were signed at the Ministry’s headquarters for a new cohort of (30) Bahrainis to work in the hospitality sector at YYT Company, across various administrative and technical specialities, with wages starting from (400) Bahraini dinars and above. The signing took place in the presence of the Undersecretary of the Ministry, Mr Sabah Salem Al Dossari, and the company’s Global Director of Branches, Mr Hisham Makkawi. In a statement on this occasion, Al Dossari commended the cooperation of private‑sector employers in embracing and relying on national talent, noting the positive social and economic impact on the nation. He affirmed his welcome for every investor and employer who places their trust in the country’s sons and daughters, who have consistently demonstrated competence, professional discipline, loyalty, and dedication across production sites. Al Dossari urged the newly appointed employees to be diligent and disciplined, and to continuously develop their professional capabilities and skills. He noted that the Ministry’s projects and initiatives have increased the pace of employment in the hospitality sector in particular, through advanced, value‑added qualification and training programmes for national cadres, in addition to wage‑support and wage‑improvement programmes that empower them to achieve job stability and professional development, considering them the true capital of the Kingdom of Bahrain. For his part, Mr Makkawi praised the Ministry of Labour and Social Development’s support for the efforts and initiatives of private‑sector establishments in attracting and providing qualified national labour to meet employers’ needs across required professional specialities. He affirmed that Bahraini workers are distinguished by commitment, proficiency, and productivity, expressing the company’s pride in onboarding this new cohort of citizens as part of its strategy to rely on national competencies to manage the company’s operations.
