Doha: Qatar Airways has seen a year-on-year increase of national employees joining the airline through its Al Darb Qatarisation programme, who are now embarking on successful full-time careers at Qatar’s national carrier.
In 2017, 143 nationals were employed by the airline, through Qatar Airways’ highly-successful programme, which was initiated in 2012.
Since it was launched, the programme has attracted nationals, including students, graduates and experienced professionals from different career paths to find their place in the aviation industry. With the wide range of career opportunities offered at Qatar Airways, the airline enables every national to meet their career aspirations and become ambassadors for the airline and for Qatar.
“Qatar Airways is proud to be a leading employer in Qatar and we are delighted to bring in Nationals through our Al Darb Qatarisation programme, and support them to excel in their different roles within our airline. As Qatar’s national carrier, we have always been committed in our national duty of meeting the Qatar National Vision 2030, to develop and invest in local talent and build a long-term national workforce,” said, Nabeela Fakhri, Senior Vice-President Human Resources, Qatar Airways.
All eight Al Darb Qatarisation programmes have seen a continuous increase of National employees since its successful initiation in 2012. In 2017, the Graduate Development programme saw a total of 40 Nationals being offered full-time jobs at the airline.
In addition, 15 Nationals in 2017 successfully completed their IATA Aviation Diplomas, which required them to receive training both locally and internationally for industry-recognised qualifications within a wide range of aviation specialisations.
