Nama Center, one of Qatar Foundation for Social Work’s (QFSW) affiliated centres, has signed an agreement with Injaz Qatar, which  provides a range of joint programmes and activities that meet the needs and aspirations of youth.

In accordance with the memorandum of understanding (MoU), the two parties will strive to ensure the success of joint programmes and provide the necessary educational resources, including trainers with professional experience in the various sectors of entrepreneurship, to promote the career development opportunities of young entrepreneurs and prepare them to enter the labour market, in addition to providing mentorship and necessary consultation.

Nama Center offers many initiatives, programmes and scientific and practical courses aimed at the youth segment in various fields and disciplines.

Maryam Bint Abdullatif Al-Mannai, acting executive manager of Nama Center, said: “The signing of this important MoU with Injaz Qatar marks Nama Center’s keenness on maximizing the benefits of the efforts of specialized institutions in the fields of human and professional development, at the forefront of which lies Injaz Qatar.”

“Time is of paramount importance when it comes to growth and development whether on an individual, institutional or national level. Since our youth have the energy and the ability to acquire various skills at a remarkable pace, we felt that we must work to invest in their potential in an optimal manner, in terms of doubling the speed of honing their talents, boosting their capacities and giving them adequate space to unleash their potential and creative talents as entrepreneurs, towards preparing and qualifying them to enter the realm of practical life. This will be achieved, God willing, through specialized courses and programmes in various areas of entrepreneurship offered by Injaz Qatar under the supervision of a group of experienced trainers and coaches,” she added.

Injaz Qatar, a non-profit organization and a member of Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide, provides education and practical training to prepare students for the job market and entrepreneurship through its educational and training programmes for schools, universities and youth centres across Qatar.

There is no doubt that this partnership will enhance the opportunities of providing youth with comprehensive and diverse training skills as well job qualification and their capacity to become an active constituent of the national workforce.” – TradeArabia News Service
