Bahrain’s Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has announced its support for more than 40 Bahraini employees at Taha International through the Wage Increment Programme and the National Employment Programme. 

 

This comes as part of Tamkeen's ongoing commitment to supporting Bahraini employees, enabling their career development, and investing in local talent to encourage their growth and development, thus positively impacting their productivity within private sector enterprises.

 

Taha International is a Bahraini company specialised in industrial services. The company applies unique patented technology developed by Bahraini and international experts in processing aluminum waste while reducing carbon emissions and is now being adopted by a number of aluminum smelters worldwide.

 

Positive impact

Khalid Al-Bayat, Chief Growth Officer at Tamkeen, said: "Our support for Bahrainis at Taha International comes as a result of the enterprises’ commitment to develop and empower national competencies that will positively impact the growing industrial sector. The sector contributed 13% to the kingdom’s GDP in 2023, making it the second-largest contributor among non-oil sectors in the national economy."

 

Ammar Awachi, Chief Executive Officer of Taha International, said: "Taha is proud of its ongoing partnership with Tamkeen to achieve the shared goals of upskilling local talent and enhancing their career development opportunities. We take pride in the high numbers of Bahrainisation within our team, which was achieved due to the qualitative support programmes offered by Tamkeen.”

 

Awachi added: "We also value Tamkeen's continuous support in developing our workforce, whether by refining their skills through specialised training or through wage increment support.  Tamkeen plays a pivotal role in guiding and supporting the training of Bahraini talent, activating their potential, and increasing their ability to meet labor market needs to eventually secure promising job opportunities, which positively impacts the economy."--TradeArabia News Service
