DOHA: Registration is open for the third Summer Career Camp being organised by Qatar Career Fair (QCF), a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), this month.
Open to Qatari male and female high school students, the camp will offer activities, educational and academic programmes, and interactive workshops. Separate classes will be held for each group of students attending the camp at Education City’s Recreation Centre daily from August 23 to September 3 between 9am and 2pm.
Through the event, QCF supports QF’s mission of providing unique, world-class education, work experience, and career opportunities to help create a knowledge-based economy.
QCF’s programme aims to develop talents and skills to assist students planning future academic and professional paths. Through a stimulating environment, QCF will equip them with practical skills and knowledge, and match their capabilities with right opportunities.
Abdulla Al Mansoori, Director, QCF, said, “QCF’s programmes and initiatives have had a long-standing focus on providing support and help to propel Qatari students forward. Through activities and workshops that draw on career guidance and advisory expertise, the camp will pave the way for a bright and prosperous future.
“Our priority is for participants to reap benefits from the workshops we have devised to strengthen their skills in subjects, such as decision-making, leadership, public speaking, teamwork, and entrepreneurship, areas we believe will help in optimal academic and professional planning,” he added.
The camp will also offer site visits and job shadowing programmes at leading organisations. Participants will be introduced to workplace environments, get a glimpse into career life, and match their abilities, skills and educational choices with right professional decisions. All students who successfully complete the programme will be awarded participation certificates.
Registration is open until August 20 and to ensure a place, students are advised to register online early as spaces are limited.
