His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development, Mr. Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, underlined the need to align training outcomes with labour‑market requirements, which are continually evolving as technology reshapes job profiles. He stressed the importance of specialised programmes that equip the national workforce with the professional skills that make Bahraini employers their preferred choice. This emphasis was discussed during a meeting between Mr. Humaidan and Mr. Nawaf Mohammed Al Jishi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bahrain Society of Private Training Institutes, held today, Sunday, at the Ministry, with several Society members in attendance. Discussions focused on strengthening co‑operation to advance private training institutions and reinforce Bahrain’s position as a regional training hub. Humaidan noted that updating training curricula to meet market needs is essential for the success of private institutes and centres, adding that the Ministry continues to deliver training that prepares national talent for quality employment as swiftly as possible. He urged private institutions to leverage the incentives offered by National Employment Programme 2.0, emphasising that robust training programmes should serve as a launch pad for jobseekers entering the labour market. Mr. Al Jishi outlined the Society’s vision for enhancing the training system, explaining that centres and institutes regularly refresh and select programmes to match labour‑market developments. He praised the Government’s support for private training institutions—especially during the current health situation—and welcomed the financial measures provided to sustain economic sectors, including training centres.
