Core Skills Framework

Tamkeen has developed and pioneered a core skills framework as part of the country’s wider skills taxonomy.
The framework has been aligned and developed against a comprehensive list of international benchmarks and best practice whilst reflecting the
specific needs and aspirations of Bahrain as a progressive country.

Core skills underpin and promote the development of learning and study skills and provide the foundation for the skills required to carry out specific
job roles and functions.
They are usually gained through life and work experience or through structured learning or training programs. Core skills are essential for any job or profession and provide a strong basis for lifelong learning and for building the technical skills required to support specific job roles.

The Core Skills Framework is structured around three key pillars: Social Intelligence, Self-Management, and Analytical Skills, each playing a vital role in shaping a proficient and adaptive workforce. Under each of the key pillars, four core skills are defined forming a complete framework of twelve core skills.
