Doha: Ooredoo has successfully completed its participation in the eighth annual UK Career Fair 2015, organised by the Qatari embassy in London as part of its efforts to reach out to the next generation of young Qatari national leaders.
The fair from February 20 to 21 at Grosvenor House Hotel attracted 360 students.
Highlights included a banquet with presentations from some of the 11 leading Qatari companies, keynote addresses by Minister of Youth and Sports H E Salah bin Ghanem bin Nasser Al Ali and Qatari Ambassador Yousef bin Ali Al Khater.
Ooredoo received its best feedback from participants, with more than 97 high potential Qatari students showing interest in working for the company.
Sheikh Saud bin Nasser Al Thani, CEO, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “The number of students who showed interest in working with Ooredoo is fantastic. The future of Ooredoo is with the next generation as we continue to push smart technology and latest communication methods and devices in Qatar.
“Ooredoo offers programmes and training opportunities for young people, and it’s great to see that young people are interested in investing their careers in the development of our country in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Buthaina Al Ansari, Senior Director, Human Resources, said: “Ooredoo strives to be Qatar’s employer of choice and has programmes to develop fresh graduates as well as initiatives to champion Qatari women in the company.
“I encourage all young people to think about what they want to get from being an Ooredoo employee as we have some of the most diverse career opportunities in the country. I look forward to welcoming you to our Ooredoo team in the future.”
With opportunities such as the Qatarisation programme, which has ensured that over 40 percent of roles at Ooredoo go to Qataris, award-winning talent development programmes, scholarships, sponsorship and internship programmes, Ooredoo is working hard to be the employer of choice in Qatar.
Ooredoo’s ongoing participation in the fair, which aims to help Qatari students in the UK to find jobs with institutions and national companies, demonstrates its commitment to recruit top Qatari graduates. This was the company’s sixth participation, following 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.The Peninsula
