Together, we are charting new territories in recruitment innovation and talent development, setting a global standard for excellence and positioning Qatar as a premier destination for talent attraction and retention. As a key player in both Qatar’s global ventures and local economy, Qatar Airways’ involvement brings invaluable insight and depth to this initiative.”
