The program boasts over 100 new professional training opportunities across five key centers, each designed to discover and empower Bahraini youth, ensuring they become the top choice in the labour market.
Creativity and learning
Youth City 2024 is organized into five main sections, each designed to cultivate a range of skills and talents among Bahrain’s youth.

Entrepreneurs
Alaa Aleid, Supervisor at the Youth Market, shared her enthusiasm: “We are supporting our community and encouraging youth to be entrepreneurs. This year, we received 200 registrations but could only select sixty.”
Youth City 2024 thrives under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty’s Representative for Humanitarian Affairs and Youth Affairs, and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs organized the event in collaboration with the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) as a strategic partner.
As Youth City 2024 progresses, it continues to inspire and equip Bahrain’s youth with the skills and confidence needed to excel in their future careers, making a lasting impact on the Kingdom’s development and prosperity.
