Taqaddum Parliamentary bloc supports Tamkeen's new package of training and employment steps
The Taqaddum Parliamentary bloc has backed a new package of training and employment steps announced by Tamkeen, aimed at drawing more young Bahrainis into the health sector. The bloc described the move as long overdue and said it had been made possible by coordination between Parliament and the government, following directions from His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Minister of the Prime Minister's Court and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen). In a statement yesterday, the group said the seven steps, focused on doctors, dentists and nurses, would offer a real chance to those who have waited years for a foot in the door. Linking training with actual job placements, it added, could finally help bridge the long-standing gap between graduation and work for medical students. Taqaddum said the plans would not have seen daylight without the interest shown by the government led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and the backing of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. It said both had helped move talks between the two branches of power into a workable set of actions. Hospitals and clinics across Bahrain, the bloc said, will need to lend a hand if the effort is to go beyond announcements. It warned that without buy-in from those doing the hiring, the plans could stall. Still, it voiced hope that practical decisions from the executive side would clear any snags and smooth the process for hospitals in both sectors. The group said it had long pushed for faster ways to absorb Bahrainis into key areas, especially healthcare. It pledged to keep backing any route that gives priority to locals in work placements, calling on the rest of the country's sectors to follow suit. Taqaddum called for every new job scheme to draw on past lessons, stressing that Bahrain's own people remain its best bet. Home-grown skill, it said, is the only way to keep the country steady, moving forward and on a firm path to growth.
