In line with directives issued by His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Isa bin Salman Educational Charitable Trust and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) to enhance Tamkeen’s programs and ensure they benefit all segments of society, Tamkeen announced the adoption of new incentives dedicated to ‘People of Determination’ within the National Employment Program. These initiatives are in line with the National Strategy for Persons with Disabilities and reflect Tamkeen’s commitment to ensuring Bahrainis are the preferred choice of employment in the labor market.

Under these new measures, Tamkeen will provide an additional 10% wage support per year during the support period for People of Determination employed in the private sector as part of the National Employment Program. This initiative is also aligned with one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which focuses on ensuring access to healthy lives and well-being for all, including People of Determination, further reflecting the Kingdom of Bahrain’s ongoing commitment to achieving SDGs through various programs and initiatives.

This initiative is in line with Tamkeen’s strategic priorities for 2025, which focuses on enhancing the position and competitiveness of Bahrainis in the private sector, equipping Bahrainis with suitable skills for career development in the private sector, and prioritizing enterprise growth, digitization, and sustainability, and supporting the development of the ecosystem surrounding the labour market and private sector.
