Training portion of Kawader 2015 ends

The training portion of Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) and Qatar Financial Centre Authority's (QFCA) Kawader 2015 finished earlier this week.

“The Kawader program aims at growing Qatar’s human capital to match the development seen in the country’s rapidly progressing financial sector by providing them with the right tools and training,” Yousuf Al Jaidah, QFCA CEO, said.

In an address to the Kawader attendees, Charles Carlson, Standard Charter CEO, encouraged the young professionals to take advantage of the internship opportunities offered by Kawader.

"This is a learning chance to widen your knowledge and skills and to learn from industry best practices inside and outside Doha," Carlson said.

So far this year, 33 young Qatari professionals, who were either in their fourth year of university studies or had recently graduated, were enrolled in Kawader by QFBA.

"Our pioneering partnership with the Global Management Challenge (GMC) slated for this month shows we all share unrelenting focus on industry professionals’ starting career point: Bridging the wide gap between financial educational and knowledge and the job market’s evolution and needs," QFBA CEO Abdulaziz Al Horr said.
