Doha: The Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC), founded by Qatar Foundation (QF), has announced the release of the 16th issue of Career Guide.
This is the first Qatar-based magazine dedicated to career guidance and development.
The publication is designed to help students explore their educational and career options and build the skills needed for a sustainable career future.
The new issue features interviews and articles that showcase real-life stories of young men and women who have pursued successful educational and professional paths in diverse fields such as Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, genomics, sports coaching, urban planning, and entrepreneurship.
The magazine also tackles pressing themes in youth development, equipping readers with essential career-readiness skills while highlighting the vital support parents, counselors, and educators provide in guiding students' career decisions.
Commenting on the release, Executive Director of QCDC, Saad Abdulla AlKharji, said the publication of this Guide comes at a time when students, their families, educators, and counselors increasingly need a trusted resource that provides evidence-based career guidance and helps them better understand their options and make more informed educational and career decisions.
He added that the magazine is seen as a practical tool in the hands of students at school, a reference that supports parents, and a companion resource for counselors and teachers as they carry out their mission in the school community.
He also expressed appreciation for the cooperation of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in distributing the magazine across schools, and for the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in making it available through Qatar's missions abroad, which significantly expands its reach to students inside and outside the country and enhances its added value as a specialized knowledge resource that contributes to building human capital capable of keeping pace with labor market transformations and the ambitions of Qatar National Vision 2030.
Over the years, Career Guide has cemented its position as a key specialized reference in the field of career guidance and development, reaching more than 300,000 readers in Qatar and beyond through its print and digital editions.
Its audience includes school and university students, recent graduates, parents, academic and career counselors, teachers, and decision-makers interested in education and labor market issues.
Published annually in both Arabic and English under a license from the Ministry of Culture, the magazine is distributed to schools, universities, institutes, and educational institutions, as well as government entities and private-sector organizations.
Overall, its digital edition is also available via QCDC's website and the Career Guide mobile application, allowing readers to access the 16th issue and all previous editions anytime and anywhere.
