Qatar Career Fair (QCF), a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), has concluded its third Summer Career Camp. 

 

A closing ceremony was recently held at Education City’s Recreation Centre, during which, certificates were presented to the participating students, in the presence of their parents, said a statement.

 

Taking place over two weeks, the camp equipped students with a range of skills and abilities that were designed to benefit their academic and professional lives, it said.

 

The workshops particularly centred on career guidance and advice, with instructors tackling several topics of particular interest, such as mental and emotional intelligence, goal planning, and career development.

 

Saad Abdullah Al Kharji, head of Operations at Qatar Career Fair, said: “Through this camp, as well as through the various initiatives that Qatar Career Fair has spearheaded and will undertake, we strive to lend a helping hand to students, equipping and providing them with the knowledge and skills that will encourage smart decision making and choices that reflect positively on their academic and professional futures.

 

“Our centre has invested a lot of effort into supporting numerous initiatives and programmes that aim to develop young Qatari talents and provide the resources to help them progress, arming them with knowledge and education. The third edition of the Summer Career Camp is an integral stop in this journey.”

 

“Qatar Career Fair’s programmes and activities fall under Qatar Foundation’s continuous efforts in serving the local community, empowering Qataris to overcome challenges and excel. Our vision is in-line with the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030, which includes helping Qatari individuals, and developing their talents while harnessing them for the benefit of the wider community," said Al Kharji.

 

In order to facilitate this, site visits and job shadowing opportunities at leading organisations and institutions in Qatar were organised during the Summer Career Camp, providing students with first-hand experience of workplace environments and career life, said the statement.

 

Visits to RasGas, Al Jazeera Media Training and Development Center, Qatar National Bank, and Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar offered participants an in-depth insight into the medical, media, banking, and energy sectors, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
