Private Sector Employment

The Ministry of Labour keeps abreast of the needs of the labor market to help Bahraini citizens find rewarding full time job opportunities.

Its Employment Services Bureau supports the employment of citizens seeking jobs in the private sector by trying to match them with available job opportunities. It offers career guidance and counselling, coordinating with human resource departments in private sector organizations and with labor fund Tamkeen, which offers training support to equip them with the skills required by the private sector.

Its key services include:

  • Jobseekers registration
  • Evaluation of orientation programme
  • Job candidate nomination and employment
  • Hiring national and GCC talent

The unemployed receive monthly financial support (unemployment insurance) throughout the period they are unemployment once they register with Ministry of Labour. The jobseekers are supported with professional guidance and counselling until they find suitable jobs.
