A new national scheme to train Bahrainis as barbers and hairdressers has been launched today.
The project is spearheaded by the Noaim Charity Society in association with the Labour and Social Development Ministry and in co-ordination with Tamkeen.
It would see Bahrainis licensed to open shops or work in hospitals and homes for the elderly or people with disabilities.
The scheme has been nominated as the frontrunner to receive the ministry’s top innovative schemes award, which entitles the society for a cash award towards developing the scheme.
