The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of female leaders from its Accelerating Women’s Leadership Programme.
Launched under an initiative led by Isa Bin Salman Education Charitable Trust board of trustees chairman and Tamkeen board of directors chairman Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the programme aims to provide high-quality development opportunities for Bahraini professionals.
In partnership with HEC Paris, the programme trained 30 Bahraini women, the first group of 90 targeted participants.
The intensive training focuses on advanced research and leadership best practices, covering topics like managing complex leadership environments, influencing and persuasion skills, problem-solving, and objective-driven leadership.

“Empowering Bahraini women and increasing their participation in the labour market is a central focus for Tamkeen,” said Tamkeen chief executive Maha Mofeez.
“We continuously introduce dedicated programmes and initiatives, partnering with global organisations like HEC Paris to deliver high-quality training. We are confident in the ability of Bahraini women to assume leadership positions and thrive in the private sector, and this programme plays a pivotal role in fast-tracking their development.”
The programme aligns with Tamkeen’s 2025 strategic priorities, which include enhancing the competitiveness of Bahrainis in the private sector, equipping them with relevant skills, prioritising enterprise growth, digitisation, and sustainability, and supporting the development of the labour market and private sector ecosystem.
