According to The Daily Tribune – News of Bahrain, in its report “Investing in youth, building the future,” published in July 2026, Bahrain Youth City, through its annual programme organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs in partnership with Tamkeen, continues to prepare young Bahrainis for future careers by strengthening practical skills, innovation and workforce readiness.
Bahrain Youth City expands youth development
The Bahrain Youth City initiative welcomed Eng. Bassem bin Yacoub Al Hamer, President of the Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB), during his visit to the annual programme. Accompanied by Ministry of Youth Affairs Undersecretary Marwan Fouad Kamal, he toured several training centres and reviewed initiatives designed to equip participants with practical knowledge, technical expertise and career-focused skills.
During the visit, Al Hamer observed how different training programmes encourage innovation while preparing young Bahrainis for changing workplace requirements. The initiative brings together government entities and strategic partners to provide learning experiences that reflect industry needs and support the country’s long-term workforce development goals.
Bahrain Youth City 2030 programme highlights technical skills
A key part of the visit focused on the SLRB’s specialised “Survey Engineering and Geospatial Data” programme, which is offered under the Bahrain Youth City 2030 programme. The course combines classroom instruction with practical training, giving participants hands-on experience in modern surveying techniques and geospatial technologies.
The programme also introduces students to artificial intelligence tools and digital applications increasingly used across the surveying sector. By exposing participants to current technologies, the initiative helps them build technical skills that align with international practices and real workplace expectations.
Training supports Labour Market readiness
The training opportunities at Bahrain Youth City are designed to strengthen professional confidence while helping participants explore career pathways across multiple sectors. Practical projects and technical learning allow students to apply their knowledge in realistic working environments.
This approach bridges the gap between education and employment. It also helps young Bahrainis develop the skills required by employers while supporting national efforts to create a highly capable workforce prepared for future opportunities.
Investment in youth supports Bahrain’s future
Al Hamer said investing in young people remains essential to building a competitive and sustainable future. He praised Youth City 2030 for identifying promising national talent and offering specialised programmes that support long-term professional development.
The initiative, organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs with strategic partner Tamkeen, continues to expand opportunities for youth through high-quality training. Programmes such as Survey Engineering and Geospatial Data strengthen technical knowledge, encourage innovation and prepare participants for evolving workplace demands. Through these efforts, Bahrain Youth City continues to support workforce development and help equip the next generation with skills for future careers across the Kingdom.
