Dr. AlMudhahki touched on the rapid changes taking place in jobs and specializations in the labor market, and the need for continuity of education, qualification and continuous development of skills, that would lead to sustainability of human capital.

For his part, the Director of “Skills Bahrain” highlighted the role of this integrated and the first of its kind project in the country in qualifying the national cadres and developing human capital, which would in turn contribute to raising productivity, supporting the national economy, and accelerating development.
