MANAMA, Bahrain, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tamkeen, an independent authority supporting Bahraini employment, has created a BD2.24 million fund to help Bahrainis obtain professional certifications.

Applicants that have the core qualifications will be able to choose from more than 100 professional certification programs that include marketing, human resources, accounting, finance, engineering, health and safety and project management.
