Humaidan expressed gratitude to H.E. Lieutenant-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa for his support in executing the Ministry’s national initiatives under Bahrainouna.
As part of Bahrainouna, the Ministry introduced The National Platform for Bahrain Experts (Khobara) to showcase the skills of 207 Bahraini professionals across various sectors. The platform aims to promote Bahraini talent regionally, with experts in finance, insurance, banking, information technology, healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, and real estate. A committee will evaluate these experts in November to further enhance Bahrain’s presence in the region. Humaidan believes that Khobara is a crucial step in supporting Bahraini expertise and highlighting the Kingdom’s wealth of talent and best practices.
The Ministry is also gearing up to launch the For You initiative in December, which will honor private-sector workers in high-risk roles for their contributions to Bahrain’s economy. This initiative recognizes the efforts and sacrifices of Bahrain’s dedicated workforce in demanding sectors. Humaidan emphasized the Ministry’s focus on enhancing worker safety by implementing best practices in challenging work environments to ensure the well-being of those facing high-risk conditions daily. These initiatives collectively reflect Bahrain’s commitment to its national values and celebrate the expertise and resilience of its people contributing to the Kingdom’s growth and prosperity.
