As part of Qatar Petrochemical Company’s (Qapco) corporate social responsibility, the company recently held a Leadership Workshop for senior pupils at the Omar Ibn Al Khattab Educational Complex. The workshop was also part of a recently signed memorandum of understanding between Qapco and the complex that will enable both to work more closely together to enhance students’ awareness about working in the oil and gas industry and contribute to their academic and social development in line with Qatar’s Vision 2030.
Nasser Al Hajri, Qapco’s Human Resource & Learning Manager, thanked the school for allowing Qapco to deliver the workshop.
He said: “Leadership is one of the skills that is most in demand within Qatar. It is therefore vital that our new generation is able to learn and understand what is required to be a leader.
“This workshop concentrated on the fundamentals of leadership, and in a fun and interactive way, encouraged the boys to think about themselves and how they may become great leaders in the future.
“We also hope that this workshop will encourage the boys to consider a career with Qapco through our excellent Scholarship Programme”.
Hassan Al Buainain, School Principal, thanked Qapco for visiting the school.
He said: “We are constantly trying to improve the education of our students and one way to achieve this is to encourage them to learn occupational skills such as leadership.
“This requires a mutual approach between schools and the industry that will match academic qualifications to real life work skills and jobs in the industry.
“That is why we are so pleased to work with Qapco with this MoU, as it will provide some great experiences for our students.”
