Applications are now open for the 11th intake of the Prime Minister’s Fellowship Program, a year-long initiative designed to train and empower Bahrain’s next generation of public sector leaders.

The announcement was made yesterday by the Prime Minister’s Office, which will accept applications until Sunday, 10 August. Government employees below managerial level are eligible to apply through the official website.

Hands-On Governance

The fellowship gives selected Bahraini professionals the opportunity to work directly within the Prime Minister’s Office for a full year, engaging in high-level policy research, leadership development, and strategic analysis.

The programme is aligned with the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who has consistently emphasised the importance of building capacity within the national workforce to drive Bahrain’s development forward.

Training for Impact

Participants will receive structured mentorship and exposure to real-time government decision-making.

According to the PMO, the skills and experience gained are intended to empower fellows to make a measurable impact once they return to their original posts in various government bodies.

The initiative is part of broader efforts to embed a culture of innovation, efficiency, and accountability in Bahrain’s public service.

Final push for applicants

Interested civil servants have until the second Sunday of August to apply for the fellowship, which has earned recognition as a launchpad for careers in public leadership.
