Human resource leaders from across government agencies and ministries during the information session organised by HBKU’s Executive Education Center and Institute of Public Administration.
DOHA: Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) Executive Education Center (EEC) hosted an information session for human resource professionals in close cooperation with the Institute of Public Administration (IPA) at the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs (MADLSA).
The event, which took place at HBKU’s College of Islamic Studies within Education City, drew a targeted audience of 60 human resource department leaders and training managers serving across various government agencies and ministries in the country.
EEC’s training and development programmes are supported by its ranks of world-class educators and a progressive vision that complements national aspirations as outlined in Qatar National Vision 2030.
Executive Director of EEC, Rodolphe A Boughaba, said, “The session was designed to showcase how our programmes can benefit the ambitions and busy schedule of an active professional, seeking an opportunity for career development within the government sector. As such, the Institute of Public Administration was an invaluable collaborator in this pursuit considering its insight and wide-reaching grasp on labour affairs across all government sectors.
“Additionally, while we aimed to familiarise all participants with existing course offers, we also wanted to receive their valuable feedback to help identify the most relevant areas of training development and aid in shaping future programmes to fit the specific requirements of Qatar’s public service sector. As a result, we expect all ministry delegations to reap great benefits from this info-packed event as it will lead to future professional development opportunities that are of immense individual and institutional benefit,” Boughaba concluded before opening the floor to a detailed Q&A session with all participating delegates.
Explaining the pivotal role of training and development in any professional’s career progression, Director of Training at IPA of MADLSA, Abdulaziz Saad Al Majali, underlined the importance of cooperating with training centres in the country to implement specialised training programmes that were not within the Institute’s jurisdiction. Such bespoke courses, whose modules were based upon thorough research and relevant experience, he affirmed, would uplift national scales of competitiveness and productivity.
