DOHA: Qatar’s telecoms giant Ooredoo has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) designed to provide training and educational services to its staff and management as part of its Qatarisaiton strategy, the company said in a press statement yesterday.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Waleed Al Sayed, Chief Operating Officer of Ooredoo, and Dr Abdulazziz Al Horr, CEO of QBFA.
As part of its strategy to become an employer of choice in Qatar, the telecoms service provider will collaborate with QFBA to provide training sessions and educational courses in business, finance and management to its employees.
With a particular focus on high-potential Qatari national employees, the agreement is set to play a key role in the company’s long-term Qatarisation strategy. The MoU will provide a framework to deliver tailor-made courses and programmes relating to the technical and developmental needs of Ooredoo’s staff and management, particularly in the area of finance.
Training plans, for basic and advanced levels, will be designed and delivered by QFBA based on a needs assessment carried out by the academy and reviewed by Ooredoo.
“Ooredoo continues to encourage human growth both internally and externally, and our ongoing investment in the professional development of our team plays a key role in that,” said Al Sayed.
“In particular, as our business grows and enters new markets, we want to ensure that our financial planning resources are world-class, and the agreement with QFBA will enable us to deliver the highest standards.”
Al Horr, on behalf of QFBA, added: “Our mission is to educate and train financial services professionals to meet the demands of the current and future global business environment, and we are delighted to be working with one of Qatar’s most ambitious and fast-growing businesses.”
Undertaking the programmes and training sessions offered by QFBA will allow Ooredoo’s employees and management to deploy a broader skill set and sharper professional insights to enhance management practices and deliver a higher quality of customer experience.
