On July 18, 2024, the Ministry of Sports and Youth, in collaboration with Doha University of Science and Technology, launched the “Initiative” program. This program is part of the ministry’s strategic initiatives aimed at advancing Qatari youth, developing their capabilities, and highlighting their role in fulfilling their duties.

An Effective Program for Youth

The program aims to empower Qatari youth aged 18-30 of both genders by helping them acquire essential skills needed in the job market. It trains and qualifies them to increase their opportunities to secure suitable jobs aligned with their academic specializations. The program includes training courses in resume writing, passing personal interviews, professional communication skills, personal brand building, and using the latest information technology methods in professional development.

These efforts will help build the participants’ abilities, assist them in marketing themselves, and acquire effective communication and persuasion skills in the workplace. It will also teach them how to present personal skills for effective understanding and positive interaction in the work environment.

Additionally, the program will enhance the participants’ professional efficiency and help them achieve the best results in their work.

The training sessions for the program will be held daily until July 31, 2024, from 4 PM to 8 PM, at Doha University of Science and Technology. The sessions will be supervised by a team from the Youth Development and Empowerment Department at the Ministry of Sports and Youth and specialized trainers.

Youth Are Our Priority

Mr. Fawaz Abdullah Al-Museifri, Director of the Youth Affairs Department, confirmed that the Ministry of Sports and Youth has put all its capabilities into making this event successful and achieving the desired outcomes of the program. He added that Qatari youth need these skills and other abilities to enter the job market with a clear understanding of what awaits them and what is expected of them. He emphasized that youth empowerment is a top priority for the Ministry of Sports and Youth, which has established several strategic projects to achieve Qatar’s Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Sports and Youth’s strategy.
