Nakilat holds third Annual National Forum

Nakilat has recently held its third Annual National Forum for its Qatari employees. The event served as a platform for national employees to learn about the company’s career development plans and programmes, interact with senior management members, and have their queries addressed during the event.
The session also allowed senior management to gain insight into the experiences and challenges faced by Qatari “developees” and marine cadets during their learning process at the company.
The forum featured a series of insightful presentations and interactive sessions by both the company’s management and Qatari employees, highlighting the company’s Qatarisation progress and new and ongoing initiatives for the professional development of Qatari staff.
The initiative forms part of the company’s robust Qatarisation programme that focuses not only on recruiting talented Qataris, but also developing Nakilat’s existing talent pool and enable them to reach their full potential and become key contributors to the company and Qatar’s maritime industry, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
During the session, awards were presented to graduating marine cadets sponsored by the company, and to those who had achieved “excellent” results in their studies.
Mentors and coaches of Qatari “developees” were also recognised for their efforts and contribution towards developing Nakilat’s young national talents.
In 2016, Nakilat achieved a 37.4% Qatarisation rate compared to 33% in 2015.
Through its wide-ranging Qatarisation efforts, which include supporting the training initiatives of various educational institutions in the country, the company aims to enhance the skills and abilities of its employees while raising awareness and interest in Qatar’s rapidly developing maritime industry. Nakilat managing director Abdullah Fadhalah al-Sulaiti said: “This annual forum is an invaluable platform to reinforce the importance of Qatarisation to Nakilat, and highlights the company’s commitment in supporting our Qatari staff to achieve their professional goals.
“Ultimately, this contribution towards the sustainable development of our economy and the advancement of our people will allow us to realise the Nakilat vision to be a global leader and provider of choice for energy transportation and maritime services.”
