Nakilat has been presented with the Annual Qatarization Crystal Award for ‘Supporting Training & Development’ at the Energy and Industry Sector’s 2018 Annual Qatarization Review Meeting held recently.

The award presented by H E Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, was received by Nakilat Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Al Sulaiti.

This is the third consecutive year that the company has been recognised for its outstanding contribution including Training and Development initiatives for Qatari Nationals, from amongst 35 participating Companies in the local Energy Sector. There were four award categories, namely Support for Training & Development, Support & Liaison with the Education Sector, Supporting Qatarization, and Highest Overall Qatarization Rate.

Al Sulaiti said, “We are proud to be recognized for our strategic efforts at progressing Qatarization through robust training and development programmes. Our Qatarization initiatives come as part of our commitment to invest in human capital in attracting, retaining, and developing our workforce with an emphasis on national development, as evident from our mission statement; a mission that is aligned with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, which aims for the development of a high-calibre and sustainable Qatari workforce.”

Further commenting on this achievement, Al Sulaiti added: “The company would not have been able to expand and develop its business without the efforts of the employees. Our shared values drive us to motivate one another to innovate, develop and nurture human capital.”
