Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) and Stenden University in Qatar (SUQ) yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate in the fields of education, training, capacity building and community development.
This is the fifth MoU signed by QSE with a national educational institution, as the local bourse had signed similar pacts with Qatar Finance and Business Academy, Faculty of Islamic Studies at Hamad bin Khalifa University, Qatar University, and Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar.
The latest MoU was signed by QSE chief executive Rashid bin Ali al-Mansoori and Dr Ivan Ninov, executive dean of SUQ.
The agreement recognises the value of educational co-operation and practical training for the purposes of knowledge sharing and exploring placement opportunities during the summer season for SUQ students within the fourth and final year of their studies.
It also aims to explore volunteer opportunities to have SUQ students participate and volunteer in events and activities hosted by QSE.
According to the MoU, the parties would engage in developing training programmes/workshops to be provided by QSE to SUQ Students pertaining to the Qatar stock market during the first and second year of their studies.
“This agreement comes within our social responsibility role and the mission and vision to support Qatar National Vision 2030, with a particular focus on the human development pillar and the commitment of QSE to continue what this vision is built upon starting from Qatar principles of openness to modernity, adopting new technologies to serve the goals of development and economic progress, and emphasising the role of QSE in serving the local community,” al-Mansoori said.
This co-operation is a continuation and culmination of education and awareness efforts undertaken by QSE in the local community.
