AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation announced yesterday its readiness to implement a first-of-its-kind initiative in Bahrain named “Jaser”, which includes a remote-work platform as a new addition to its services.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Vanguard company to implement the project, which comes in line with the foundation’s efforts to strengthen its community partnership, and with its mission to empower young people to develop their educational and practical skills in order to achieve Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.

The rapid and successive technological developments have resulted in the creation of a new culture within the labour market, including remote and temporary work based on the completion of certain tasks.

The platform will contribute to provide the best approach that will enable companies and individuals to search for the optimal provider of a required professional service, in addition to promoting local talent on a regional and global level.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Vanguard to launch this platform that provides a virtual job market that showcases the potential talents of the Bahraini youth locally and internationally,” said AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation Board of Trustees chairperson Her Highness Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa.

“It also gives companies and individuals the opportunity to earn income flexibly and easily by increasing their capabilities through their ability to boost productivity and gain more professional experience.”

AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation is constantly striving to keep pace with global trends in order to empower young people and invest in the future, thereby enhancing the Kingdom’s economic standing and helping young people contribute to the overall development process, HH Shaikha Zain added.

Vanguard Group founder and managing director Hazem Janahi thanked the foundation for its cooperation to launch the online platform. “This indicates their great awareness on the importance of keeping pace with the latest global trends to boost the Kingdom’s economy,” Janahi said.

Remote work is the future of employment, an alternative to the traditional economy and fulltime job, due to the flexibility and employment opportunities it provides for the unemployed, part-time workers and early retirement retirees.

The remote work system relies on flexible, temporary or independent jobs, and as such is adapted to the needs of the current situation. This type of work benefits both businesses and consumers in the labour market, while also providing users the platform with greater flexibility, independence and financial security.

Established on May 30, 2011, AlMabarrah AlKhalifia is a non-profit foundation run by an independent council of secretaries with a long-standing experience in community service.

It aims to empower Bahraini youth to succeed through launching comprehensive programmes. Its vision aims to create dynamic and active members in society with a focus on achieving educational excellence.
