Ministry of Labour launches training programme in tourism, hospitality and event management
QNA Doha As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen national workforce participation across key economic sectors, Qatar's Ministry of Labour (MoL) has launched a specialised training programme in tourism, hospitality, and event management. The initiative is led by the ministry's Department of Qualifying and Skills Development, in collaboration with Al Rayyan International University College (ARIU). Targeted at Qatari nationals and children of Qatari women holding university or secondary school qualifications, the programme is part of the ministry's wider 'training-to-employment' strategy. It supports the national workforce development initiative 'We Work for Qatar,' which aims to prepare citizens for meaningful careers in the private sector, with a focus on high-potential industries. The six-month training programme is the product of a cooperation agreement signed with ARIU in February 2025. It combines academic instruction with applied training and field-based placements in real work environments. Participants will gain practical skills and experience in areas such as customer service, event planning, tourism operations, and hospitality management. Designed to meet the actual needs of Qatar's labour market, the curriculum reflects the priorities of the tourism and hospitality sector, a key pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030. The programme aims to develop job-ready national talent that can support the growth and diversification of the country's economy. In a key employment initiative, the programme guarantees job placement for successful participants, who will be offered roles at Al Faisal Holding, one of the country's leading private sector employers. This approach not only enhances employability but also contributes to long-term professional stability and economic inclusion. The Ministry of Labour reaffirmed its commitment to building a skilled, competitive national workforce through strategic partnerships with private sector employers and academic institutions. These training programmes form part of the government's broader efforts under the Third National Development Strategy and the Strategy for a Productive and Globally Competitive Workforce. By investing in skills development and nationalization programmes, the ministry continues to advance Qatar's vision for a diversified and resilient economy driven by empowered national talent.
