National Programmes 

With a legacy of more than 55 years, Gulf Air is committed to recruiting the best possible staff while offering nationals of the Kingdom of Bahrain the opportunity to work with one of the region's most experienced airlines.

A crucial part of the human resources function at Gulf Air is the implementation of programmes that will accelerate the employment and career progress of nationals of the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is our aim to be the employer of choice for the broad base of diversely skilled and educated young people in Bahrain. Gulf Air is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment in which these individuals are recruited, trained and empowered to take up positions of leadership in the airline while fulfilling their personal aspirations.

The Graduate Entry Management (GEM), Cadet and Ab-Initio Pilot programmes, Apprentice Engineer and Summer Training/Internship programmes have been developed to fulfill this commitment.

These programmes aim to create meaningful and rewarding employment for qualified nationals in accordance with the nationalisation policy, and are designed to allow young people to gain exposure to the diverse disciplines within the airline, while simultaneously ensuring that qualified and competent individuals are inducted into Gulf Air at the grass-roots level to be developed to a high quality management calibre.
