Doha: Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), the country’s top financial services training provider, has unveiled its new ‘Kawader’ programme by holding information sessions at three university campuses.
These information sessions took place at Stenden University Qatar, Qatar University and at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar.
The sessions were streamlined for third and fourth year Qatari students and fresh university graduates who are choosing a career in the financial sector.
Kawader is a two part programme with the first part providing an overview of relevant topics such as Qatar’s financial services sector, capital markets as well as legal and regulatory frameworks.
The second part builds on this and includes introductions to banking, insurance, asset management and courses in financial English language, soft skills and corporate social responsibility, plus personal development programme.
QFBA’s Kawader programme is an elite and highly competitive programme with only 15 applications selected to take part.
All the officials associated with the QFBA Kawader Project including QFBA’s CEO, Dr Abdulaziz Al Horr, university faculty, staff and students attended the sessions.
Dr Al Horr delivered presentations.
Dr Al Horr said: “Kawader is designed to engage with young Qatari’s and to set them up for a long career in the financial sector. QFBA also understands that it is vital to continually meet with and engage with potential Kawader candidates to ensure that the elite of the elite will take part in this unique programme.”
Another information session is scheduled to take place at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar in the coming weeks.
Kawader was unveiled to the local media last week at QFBA’s headquarters in West Bay.
There has been a positive response from students and the media, with all involved parties supporting this exclusive initiative.QNA
