His Excellency Yousif bin Abdulhussain Khalaf, Minister of Legal Affairs and Acting Minister of Labour, has launched an intensive drive to ensure that every registered Bahraini job seeker receives three employment offers before the end of the year, following the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Swift execution

The minister said the Ministry has already begun executing the initiative in close partnership with the private sector, describing it as a major shift in employment policy that empowers citizens with greater choice and accelerates their integration into the labour market. To guarantee smooth implementation, working hours at the Ministry have been extended from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., underscoring the team’s determination to meet national targets on time.

Citizens first

H.E. reaffirmed that, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Bahrain continues to place its citizens at the centre of development. The minister highlighted that investing in Bahrainis’ skills and capabilities is, in essence, an investment in the Kingdom’s future and its competitiveness as a leading and attractive investment destination.

Private sector partnership

Khalaf also expressed appreciation to the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry for its strong support, noting the private sector’s positive response and cooperation in providing job opportunities to citizens. He praised the private sector’s active role within Team Bahrain, describing it as a key partner driving the Kingdom’s economic growth.

Confidence in talent

The minister emphasised his confidence in the Kingdom’s national workforce, calling Bahraini human capital a world-class national asset distinguished by competence and dedication. H.E. said the new initiative reinforces that confidence, offering citizens multiple opportunities to apply their skills and ambitions in ways that strengthen Bahrain’s competitive and sustainable economy
