Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Labour (MoL) has signed a cooperation document with Al Rayyan International University College (ARIU), part of Al Faisal Holding Group, to develop a specialised training programme for Qatari nationals and children of Qatari women, including secondary school graduates and university students, seeking employment in the private sector. 

The programme aims to enhance their professional skills and competitiveness to meet labour market demands. The cooperation document was signed by Shaikha Abdulrahman Al Badi, Undersecretary for National Manpower Affairs in the Private Sector, and H E Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, Chairman of Al Faisal Holding Group.

The programme is designed according to international standards. It integrates academic learning with hands-on training, leading to job placements for 40 Qatari secondary school graduates, including children of Qatari women.
