Director of Qatar Foundation’s Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC), Abdullah Al Mansoori has praised the Shura Council’s discussion on the Qatari job seekers issue, identifying the country’s needs in terms of specializations required in the labor market, and developing human resources in general.

“We thank H E Hassan bin Abdullah Al-Ghanim, Chairman of the Council, and the members, for shedding light on this matter that QCDC is working on as part of its efforts to support the State’s endeavor to promote compre-hensive national development and achieve the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030),” said Al Mansoori said.

In the framework of these efforts, QCDC is holding the third edition of the Career Guidance Stakeholders Platform, on January 18, titled ‘Accelerating Human Capital Development through Career Guidance under the QNV 2030’, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Inter-national Labor Organization (ILO) Project Office for the State of Qatar, and Qatar Foundation’s Higher Education Division.

“In this year’s Platform, we look forward to building on the success of the previous edition, with the aim of continuing our sincere endeavours toward addressing practical and stra-tegic issues and devising career guidance policies and strategies in Qatar. This will certainly support young people in achieving their aspirations, both professionally and personally, as well as enhance their active par-ticipation in the Nation’s growth and progress,” said Al Mansoori.

The meeting will also focus on enhancing the transition of people with disabilities from sec-ondary education to the real working life via a structured career management skills framework
