In line with its 2024 strategic priorities and as part of the newly launched bundle of programmes, the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) announced its recent support to Aramex Bahrain, a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, to boost national employment and further enhance career development opportunities in the sector.
As part of the support provided, more than 30% of Aramex Bahrain employees will benefit from the recently launched Wage Increment Programme, resulting in 58% of beneficiaries working in high-quality jobs.
Aramex Bahrain is among the first enterprises to benefit from the new Tamkeen Programmes Bundle, which aims to support 50,000 Bahrainis. Labour Fund (Tamkeen) Chief Executive, Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, said the initiative aligns with our goals of positioning Bahrainis as the preferred choice in the labour market.
The transportation and logistics services sector has emerged as a vital contributor to job creation in Bahrain, providing employment to approximately 38,000 Bahrainis. A total of 5,506 new employees joined the sector between 2021 and 2022, signifying a 22% increase.
Established in 1989, Aramex Bahrain currently employs more than 250 employees, including Bahraini nationals. Yanal Anz, General Manager of Aramex Bahrain, expressed pleasure at being among the first establishments to benefit from the newly introduced support programmes by Tamkeen.
