1 Introduction
1.1 Economic Context
The Bahrain economy has grown significantly over the last two decades, but largely because of oil revenues and the public sector. Where the private sector has contributed, it has often been on the back of low-wage jobs and low-cost expatriate labour.
Over the coming decade, the size of Bahrain’s workforce will double and these traditional forms of growth will simply be insufficient to absorb the numbers looking for work.
At the same time, Bahrainis themselves are not regarded as employees of choice: not only can they be more expensive than expatriates, but the education system fails to equip them with the right skills and knowledge to make an impact in this economy.
To achieve the 2030 Bahrain Economic Vision, of a much higher added value economy offering higher wage employment, the immediate next step has to be for government to invest in the training and development of its people, particularly those already in the labour market.
“Higher productivity requires people with the right skills for each position. Competitive countries go to great lengths to educate their people, retain qualified staff and attract foreign workers with the skills that are lacking.....Bahrain will use its resources to invest for the future, improving its human capital through education and training” Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.
Tamkeen is a semi-autonomous public sector entity with a mission to enhance the prosperity of Bahrain by investing in training and job creation initiatives, and private sector support. From its establishment in 2006, it has become one of the government’s main vehicles for delivering on this Vision through a range of human capital development programmes to develop the skills and capabilities of Bahrain’s labour force and promote good workplace behaviours. To date, these programmes have benefitted over 47,000 Bahrainis, 30,000 of whom received funding to support their training, 3,500 to find a new job and over 2,000 to gain a professional qualification.
