Tamkeen has announced the launch of a new sector skills report highlighting the skills and jobs required in Bahrain’s Hospitality and Tourism sector.

 

The report aims to support the development of key professional skills aligned with the evolving needs of Bahrain’s labor market whilst enhancing employment opportunities in the sector.

 

This initiative reflects Bahrain’s commitment to nurturing its local talent, which serves as a cornerstone to achieving sustainable development.

 

The report identifies the Hospitality and Tourism sector as a key contributor to the Kingdom’s economy, emphasizing its pivotal role in creating diverse job opportunities that empower Bahraini talent to thrive in this dynamic industry.

 

Bahrain’s competitive advantages make it a unique destination in the Hospitality and Tourism sector.

These reports aim to identify the skills and occupations in demand in light of  the evolving labor market. We remain committed to publishing similar reports to address the needs of the labor market, and to guide both job seekers and those already working in these sectors.”
