Bahrain labour market issues analysed

The Education and Training Development Committee held a meeting last week at the Gudaibiya palace to review the progress of the Education and Training Development Project since its launch.

The meeting which was chaired by Deputy Premier Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, also reviewed and endorsed the Labour Market’s Observatory Project aiming to collect and analyse the labour market’s data, identify the problems it is facing and give updates on the present and future job opportunities available.

The project will make it easy for decision-makers to strike a balance between the job demand and the labour market’s needs. It also aims to highlight the future requirements of the labour market which in turn will also enable parents and students to make the right choices regarding their studies and job selection.
