Skills Bahrain is a national initiative that operates under the umbrella of the Labor Fund “Tamkeen” which focuses on guiding local skills development.

This initiative seeks to fill the skills gap of local talent resulting from the constant changes and development in the labor market, which ensures raising the competitiveness of the individual in line with the current and future market needs. The Kingdom of Bahrain is making strides to support local talent, drive innovation, and enhance productivity in line with the Economic Vision 2030.

Skills Bahrain works closely with employers, education & training providers, and government stakeholders, to bridge the skills gap by providing its stakeholders with the necessary intelligence, sector-specific data, and necessary tools. 

Skills Bahrain contributes to the transition from education to employment, and provides a clear path towards career development, therefore ‘developing skilled and globally competitive Bahraini talent’.
