MP Hassan Ebrahim has announced 600 job openings for young Bahrainis and urged them to register on the Jobs+ platform during a public meeting at his majlis in Bu Quwah.

The event drew a strong turnout, with Jobs+ representatives and private employers joining locals in the village majlis.

Ebrahim, who serves as Deputy Chairman of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee, called on jobseekers to sign up without hesitation.

Accurate details

He urged applicants to submit complete and accurate details, and said his office would closely track each submission to help link candidates with suitable roles.

Talks with the relevant bodies are ongoing, he said, to expand access to the private sector for Bahrainis.

He pressed for education to move in step with the labour market, calling for courses that pair academic study with practical skill.

The lawmaker pointed to shortages in several fields currently staffed by expats such as fertiliser production, sports coaching, tourism and petrochemicals, and called for urgent training of Bahrainis to take on these roles.

He also stressed the value of vocational training delivered in partnership with firms, arguing it would help prepare applicants for the demands of the private sector.

Jobs+ representative Mohammed Jaafar said the platform had so far received around 8,000 applications, with 600 jobs currently available.

He added that work was underway to connect applicants with Tamkeen to help them secure financial support and training
