Labour and Social Development Minister Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan has highlighted the government’s keenness to develop plans and launch policies aimed at stimulating the growth of the labour market.
This comes as the ministry yesterday held a ceremony to honour outstanding workers and entrepreneurs, in the presence of representatives of workers’ trade unions and several officials.
Humaidan cited the Cabinet’s adoption of the Economic Recovery Plan.
It would set the development priorities during the coming period, the foremost of which is the creation of promising job opportunities, make Bahrainis the first choice in the local labour market, create 20,000 jobs for nationals, and train 10,000 Bahrainis annually until 2024.
The minister affirmed that the ambitious blueprint had been introduced following the success of Bahrain, thanks to the efforts of its citizens, including employers, workers and many government agencies, in achieving outstanding results in terms of reducing layoffs during this exceptional period, and in implementing the second edition of the National Employment Programme, which has been able to exceed the preset target of employing 25,000 Bahrainis in 2021 in the private sector.
