The event forms part of the Ministry’s efforts to support and empower national talent and enhance employment opportunities for Qataris in the private sector.
The organisation of the Open Recruitment Day forms part of the Ministry of Labour’s efforts to achieve the objectives of the Private-Sector Jobs Nationalisation Law and implement the pillars of the National Strategy for an Effective and Highly Productive Workforce 2024–2030, which aims to build a pool of qualified national talent and enhance its competitiveness in line with the needs and requirements of the labour market.

He noted that the Ministry continues its efforts to support Qatari university students and recent graduates, as well as children of Qatari women, by strengthening direct engagement with private-sector institutions and identifying their needs in terms of talent and specialisations. This contributes to aligning educational outcomes with labour market requirements.
