Discuss challenges

During the meeting, which was attended by several Ministry and Society representatives, Al-Jishi noted the Ministry of Labour's eagerness to discuss the challenges facing the training sector and find appropriate solutions for its development, as part of the Ministry's efforts to develop the labour market in Bahrain, keep unemployment rates within safe limits, and assist training institutes in providing Qualitative training.
