Doha, Qatar: As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen national workforce participation across key economic sectors, Qatar’s Ministry of Labour (MoL) has launched a specialised training programme in tourism, hospitality, and event management. The initiative is led by the Ministry’s Department of Qualifying and Skills Development, in collaboration with Al Rayyan International University College (ARIU).
Targeted at Qatari nationals and children of Qatari women holding university or secondary school qualifications, the programme is part of the Ministry’s wider “training-to-employment” strategy. It supports the national workforce development initiative “We Work for Qatar”, which aims to prepare citizens for meaningful careers in the private sector, with a focus on high-potential industries.
The six-month training programme is the product of a cooperation agreement signed with ARIU in February 2025. It combines academic instruction with applied training and field-based placements in real work environments. Participants will gain practical skills and experience in areas such as customer service, event planning, tourism operations, and hospitality management.
