Ministry welcomes Qatar University students to its training programme

THE Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) on Thursday organised a welcome meeting for Qatar University (QU) students who joined its vocational training programme.

The training programme was launched within the framework of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the MoCI and the QU.

The meeting, which was attended by a number of ministry officials, featured a brief presentation on the ministry, its various departments, organisational structure, competencies, vision and objectives in accordance with Qatar National Vision 2030. The presentation also shed light on the ministry’s main duties and services, its role in developing human resources, and the ethical charter and professional values code that trainees must adhere to during their training period.

The vocational training programme aims to equip students of QU with the practical and professional experience as well as the tools that enable them to access the labour market. Through this programme, the ministry seeks to provide a suitable training environment to empower university students to perform work duties and responsibilities that correspond with their academic specialisations. Within the framework of the programme, which brings together 70 trainees during May and June, students will be trained in the areas of business administration, translation, accounting, public relations, economics, international relations and internal audit, which fall in line with the ministry’s competencies.

The MoCI had signed an MoU with QU in 2016. Under the agreement, both parties will exchange expertise in the field of training while students are offered the opportunity for vocational training in accordance with the ministry’s various competencies.

Students will be trained in the areas of business administration, translation, accounting, public relations, economics, international relations and internal audit.
