MANAMA, BAHRAIN, May 8, 2016

The AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) and Tamkeen, a Bahraini organisation tasked with developing the private sector, recently held a youth enrichment programme for Bahrainis, named Ithra.

Under the programme, Tamkeen’s “Start Your Business” workshop was organised as part of Tamkeen's Advisory Services, which offers mentoring and coaching to individuals and enterprises as well as career and professional guidance from industry professionals and experts.

Commenting on the programme’s activities, Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa, chairperson of MKF’s board of trustees, said: “MKF has always prioritised providing support for young Bahrainis who are assets in the effort to advance the Kingdom’s economy in the future. Therefore we are delighted to cooperate with Tamkeen to enhance Ithra programme, which contributes to the development of Bahraini youth to become proactive members of society, serving their nation.”

Tamkeen chief executive Dr Ebrahim Mohamed Janahi added: “Tamkeen continuously works to support enterprises and individuals across all stages of development. Youth stage is critical, as individuals start planning their future and working to achieve their goals and professional aspirations. Therefore, we are delighted to cooperate with MKF to give selected Bahraini youths the chance to learn about the elements of success in the labour market and improve their skills and experiences to achieve their potentials.”

Ithra supports youths by developing their skills, preparing them for labour market, and empowering them to their full potential to assume a leading role in the nation’s development.

The programme introduced participants to Tamkeen’s services and educated them on leadership skills. It reviewed success stories of youth who benefited from Tamkeen’s programmes and turned their ideas and ambitions into real successful projects. Shaikha Zain also awarded distinguished students and presented trainees with certificates, expressing gratitude for all the organisers of the programme. – TradeArabia News Service
