Bahrain focuses on youth talent development
On International Youth Day, Bahrain focused on empowering young people through programs and initiatives that include skill development, leadership enhancement, and support for entrepreneurship, all aimed at preparing them for the future job market. The kingdom launched initiatives such as "Youth City 2030," which has provided more than 1,137 programs since 2010, benefiting over 32,000 youth. By 2026, this initiative expanded significantly to encompass 256 programs with training opportunities reaching up to 10,650. Additionally, the Tamkeen Labor Fund supported employment and training programs in 2024 and 2025, along with specialized initiatives in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The goal is to train 50,000 Bahrainis in AI technologies by 2030. Data also show that approximately 48% of the Bahraini population is under the age of 24, underscoring that youth empowerment is a fundamental part of the national development framework. This includes involving young people in decision-making and national initiatives, as well as strengthening their international participation through awards like the King Hamad Youth Empowerment Award and other programs designed to empower and enhance their capabilities.
