Gulf Industry Fair 2016 will offer Bahrain's future working population insights into careers in the industrial sector. GIF will run on Feb. 9-11, 2016 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre under the patronage of Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain. ‘Industry Careers Day' will take place on the third day of the Gulf Industry Fair. With the added support of Tamkeen, the exhibition will open their doors on Thursday 11th February to a dedicated program for job seekers looking at career options within the industrial sector. ‘Industry Careers Day' is primarily designed to promote Bahrain's world-class industrial capabilities to young stakeholders, while highlighting the sector as a viable and rewarding career option for graduates and job seekers. "These young people will form the backbone of future industrial and economic growth in Bahrain," said Jubran Abdulrahman, Managing Director of Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions. The Industry Careers day has received positive support from many of Bahrain's educational institutions such as the Royal Women's University, Ahlia University and Gulf University. The day will consist of the Gulf Industry Fair Exhibition tour and a dedicated seminar organized by Tamkeen, who will be providing a workshop on ways to market yourself for job seekers to industrial companies. The program also features Bahrain's leading recruitment consultants, Gulf Connexions who will provide their insight as recruiters into what employers are looking for. "We are supportive of the aims of the Industry Careers day because it is an important introduction for graduates looking at professions in various industrial sectors," said Bayden Tierney, Business Development Director, of Gulf Connexions. " Our company will be on hand to share our knowledge and insights for job seekers on a practical level on how to present themselves, to future employers , whether on a personal level or through the drafting of their CVs," he added. ‘Industry Careers Day ' promises to add yet another important dimension to a show format that is already renowned as a valuable showcase for Northern Gulf industries - from world-scale manufacturing plants to specialist equipment suppliers, distributors and agencies representing the key segments of aluminum, energy and environmental protection, steel and alloys, industrial processes and manufacturing, ports, industrial facilities and logistics, training for industry; and industrial security and safety. "Promoting industrial career opportunities to the next generation is important. Industry should be seen not as a dirty word but rather as an opportunity for innovation and the development of society. Bahrain's move towards an industrial base will require a new skilled workforce for the engines of economic growth," he added.
