THE stability of Bahrain’s jobs market is a top priority, Legal Affairs Minister and Acting Labour Minister Yousif Khalaf has said.
He also reaffirmed that the ministry is implementing His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister’s directive to offer at least three in-person job interviews to every registered jobseeker by the end of this year.
Three interviews are the minimum, and there is no ceiling on the number of opportunities a jobseeker may apply for, he said.
Mr Khalaf revealed that 11,574 job interviews have been conducted from the time of the issuance of the directive until November 15. Out of these, 2,172 jobseekers have been employed.
Mr Khalaf made the remarks in a series of detailed responses to six parliamentary questions from MPs on employment procedures, Bahrainisation policies, wage protection and the implementation of the royal directive to provide three job opportunities for every jobseeker.
