Tamkeen signed an agreement with AIESEC in Bahrain earlier this year to sponsor 45 graduates to be trained abroad over the course of three consecutive years. The partnership is to empower and support Bahrainis to become the employees of choice, and to support high quality private sector job creation. Through this agreement with AIESEC, Tamkeen is supporting and fully funding the internship programme to enhance competitiveness among Bahraini graduates.
As the largest youth-driven organisation in the world, AIESEC is keen to connect the youth with the employer market around relevant issues in the society. Taking up a cultural internship or professional international exchange is the most rewarding learning experience that AIESEC offers.
AIESEC in Bahrain, since 2006 is providing young people with experiences that will not only develop their potential as individuals but also help to best direct them, with a clear purpose of having a positive impact on society through their actions.

About Tamkeen
Tamkeen is a semi-autonomous yet independent authority which formulates strategic and operational plans to use the fees collected by the LMRA in order to enhance the overall prosperity of Bahrain by investing in Bahraini employability, job creation, and social support.
Tamkeen's main objectives are to support Bahrainis to become the employees of choice, and to support high quality private sector job creation and helping the private sector cope with the impact of labour market reform.
To achieve these objectives, Tamkeen will invest in the cost and quality competitiveness of Bahrainis (e.g., reduction of cost of employing Bahrainis relative to expatriates, investment in skill and attitude improvement programmes of Bahrainis) and tackle employment barriers on both employer and new market entrants sides through a combination of financial incentives and capability building; and in supporting the private
sector's adjustment to new cost structures by providing access to capital to alleviate short-term cash constraints or improve productivity, and in know-how initiatives that support improvements in productivity and decreased reliance on expatriate labour through spreading management and technical knowledge.
Tamkeen has invested more than BD 140 million in more than 70 projects that targeted more than 50,000 Bahraini nationals and organisations.
The development of programmes is continuing as Tamkeen's strategy to increase the number of beneficiaries on an ongoing basis, which reflects the kingdom's economic development in general.
