Charity-Led Forum Empowers Bahrain's Youth Futures
TDT | Manama A new community-driven career forum is set to provide Bahraini students with sharper guidance on their academic and professional futures, as the Horizons Initiative prepares to host its first major event this September. Organised in partnership with Isa Town Charity Society and the Bahrain Society for Sickle Cell Disease Patients Care, the initiative aims to build an early bridge between students, their families, and the evolving demands of the labour market. The forum aligns with Bahrain's Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, offering a platform for students to make informed career decisions. Forum ambitions The announcement was made at an introductory meeting held at Al Ayam newspaper hall, attended by MP Jalila Alawi Al Sayed Hasan, Ibrahim Ali Abdul Rahman Al Burshid, Assistant Undersecretary for Education at the Ministry of Education, and other education and training specialists. During the session, officials presented the forum's core objectives, describing it as a pivotal opportunity to empower students by helping them explore academic and career pathways both within Bahrain and abroad. They explained that the forum is intended to complement existing guidance programmes run by the Ministry of Education and align with Tamkeen's broader efforts to develop national talent. Beyond financial aid Speakers stressed that charitable work should go beyond financial support, calling for early and sustained engagement with students and their families to help them make informed decisions about their professional futures. Without such guidance, they warned, students risk choosing paths that may not reflect actual labour market needs. The upcoming forum will include lectures, one-on-one counselling, interactive workshops, and conversations with industry experts. A key focus will be introducing participants to future-facing specialisations that reflect shifts in the global job landscape.
