Manama, Mar. 25 (BNA): Dr. Shaikha Rana bint Isa Al Khalifa, Director General of the Institute of Public Administration, affirmed the importance of supporting and training youth to lead development initiatives in both public and private sectors.
She added that Bahraini youth play an important role in the Institute's training initiatives, programmes, research, and consulting services and that this focus on the development of youth skills and preparing them for the labour market, stems from the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, supported by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and followed-up by His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty's Representative for Humanitarian Affairs and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports.
The institute offers programmes to enhance the skills of Bahraini youth through its (HiPO) program, Dr. Shaikha Rana said.
The program enables Bahraini youth to develop their leadership skills and discover their potential to obtain local and international success, by providing them with scientific methodologies, practical applications, and interactive sessions featuring
Bahraini leadership role models.
She added that the (Kheberat) programme, formed by the Institute, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, was designed to empower Bahraini youth in their pursuit of employment and provide them with scientific experiences, professional certificates, and on-the-job training to enhance their skills to enter the local market in both the public and private sectors.
Dr. Shaikha Rana highlighted the institute's keenness to incorporate youth initiatives into its plans and strategies, aiming to empower them and incorporate them in national development through innovative services aligned with citizens' aspirations.
