The Community College of Qatar (CCQ) yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) as part of its “efforts to empower human cadres and create opportunities for its students”.
In line with the MoU, both organisations will introduce new educational and training programmes, exchange teachers and researchers, organise specialised seminars and conferences, and take advantage of shared assets, a press statement noted.
The MoU was signed by Dr Mohamed Ibrahim al-Naemi, president of CCQ, and Dr Khalid Mohamed al-Horr, CEO of QFBA, during a ceremony held at the college’s headquarters.
Dr al-Naemi said, “We are pleased to have inked this MoU with QFBA, which will result in a fruitful co-operation in the higher education and professional development fields. QFBA has extensive experience in education and training in finance and business, providing our students and staff with unparalleled opportunities to develop their skills and enhance their expertise in this vital field.
“We are looking forward to capitalising on the opportunities this MoU offers to contribute to the achievement of the human development objectives outlined in Qatar National Vision 2030, and empower intellectual talents across Qatari markets to contribute to the promotion of a knowledge-based economy.”
Representing QFBA, Dr al-Horr said: “We are delighted to sign this agreement with CCQ, a pioneering educational facility that provides a highly valued learning experience to youth in Qatar. QFBA offers educational and training services for students and professionals interested in pursuing a higher education or professional development in the field of finance and business. 
“The signing of this agreement is a testament to the concerted efforts of educational institutions and their determination to offer the best education for Qatari youth through the development of an interactive educational ecosystem that benefits all parties.”
CCQ stressed that it is “committed to expanding the range of educational opportunities available to its students and staff through the ratification of several agreements with leading universities and institutes in Qatar and around the world, creating a unique educational experience and favourable climate to foster personal, academic and professional growth”.
