Thirteen big-ticket companies led by Lulu Hypermarket will open their doors to Bahraini job-seekers on June 10 and 11, at the Lulu-initiated Job Fair. The event is the first of its kind to be organised by a private sector company and will be held under the patronage of Bahrain’s Minister for Labour, HE Jameel Humaidan.

The Job Fair will be inaugurated tomorrow at 9 a.m. at the Ramli Mall in A’ali and the Minister will be the Chief Guest. It will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. 

It will serve as a recruitment centre of talented and educated Bahraini nationals and over 1,000 Bahraini jobseekers are expected to attend the event.

“Lulu Hypermarket is very proud that we can serve as a channel to connect deserving Bahrainis with the job-openings,” said Regional Director, Juzer Rupawala.

He added, “The fact that big companies and multi-nationals such as Batelco, Intercol, Zayani Motors, Coca-Cola and the Jawad Group among others have joined Lulu Hypermarket is an indication of the effectiveness of the concept,” he added.
