Ashura, repatriation and GCC prep dominate Cabinet
His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the weekly Cabinet meeting on Monday, guiding national efforts on three critical fronts - Ashura preparations, crisis response, and the upcoming GCC summit in December. Unity through coordination The Cabinet began its session at Gudaibiya Palace by reviewing the measures taken by authorities to implement the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for the organisation of Ashura. The meeting reaffirmed that openness, tolerance, and unity remain the core values of Bahraini society. Cabinet members emphasised that religious occasions such as Ashura are opportunities to strengthen national cohesion. They welcomed the outcomes of the annual meeting between the Minister of Interior and the General Authority of Husseini Processions, along with ma'atam officials from across the Kingdom. GCC summit preparations Following the royal directives, the Cabinet instructed all relevant ministries to begin coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare for the 46th session of the GCC Supreme Council, which will be hosted in Bahrain this December. The Cabinet expressed confidence that the summit would further strengthen Gulf cooperation and support initiatives that benefit all citizens of the region. Crisis response praised The Cabinet also welcomed the efforts of the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other authorities in facilitating the safe return of Bahraini citizens stranded abroad during last week's regional escalation. The operation followed the directives of His Majesty the King and the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. Gratitude was extended to diplomatic missions of GCC and allied countries whose cooperation contributed to the success of the repatriation efforts. Strategic focus In light of the summer period, the Cabinet approved a temporary shift to a bi-weekly meeting schedule for July and August. This adjustment allows more targeted follow-up on national priorities and international engagements. The Cabinet also reviewed and approved several memorandums, including developments under the Government Priorities Framework 4.0, a transfer of Bahrain's share in the Bahrain Agriculture Development Company to Mumtalakat, trade protection measures within the GCC, and the results of national examinations for ninth and twelfth grades. Additionally, the Cabinet was briefed on recent ministerial engagements abroad and Bahrain's recognition as a leading destination for events at the WOW Asia Awards.

Tamkeen launches paid internship sales drive
TDT| Manama Tamkeen and the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) have launched the second edition of their Sales Graduate Development Programme, reinforcing national efforts to localise private sector jobs by equipping Bahraini graduates with real-world experience and financial support. Paid training push Targeted at unemployed Bahraini graduates with no prior sales experience, the six-month programme combines classroom learning with internships at leading organisations in Bahrain. It offers a structured pathway into the sales field through hands- on exposure, while supporting participants with monthly stipends to ease their entry into the job market. The initiative is part of a broader national strategy to raise economic participation among Bahraini youth, with a clear emphasis on building professional confidence and practical sales and customer care skills. Skills meet sector needs Graduates enrolled in the programme will receive training in customer engagement, digital tools, marketing, and sales techniques. The goal is to prepare them for long-term careers across diverse sectors that rely on sales professionals, from retail and real estate to financial services and tech. Backed by Tamkeen, the programme helps employers source local talent trained in both soft and technical competencies. It also supports Bahrain's labour market priorities by matching skill-building with real-time workforce needs. Sustained collaboration Khalid AlBayat, Chief Growth Officer at Tamkeen, said the programme's second edition reflected Tamkeen's ongoing commitment to raising the employability of nationals. 'By equipping fresh graduates with sales and customer engagement skills, we are preparing them to tap into a sector full of potential,' he noted. Anood Abbas, Head of the Leadership and Management Centre at the BIBF, described the initiative as a transformative entry point for new professionals.

With applications now open, the programme continues to offer fresh graduates a critical first step into the workforce, bridging the gap between education and employment with the added incentive of paid internships.
