The Ministry of Labour held a series of consultative workshops on the 2025 Job Nationalisation Plan, bringing together representatives from the manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare sectors.
This initiative aims to strengthen strategic partnerships with the private sector and facilitate the exchange of ideas on boosting national workforce participation in the labour market.
These workshops are part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to enhance collaboration with private sector stakeholders, fostering structured partnerships that drive labour market growth and increase employment opportunities for Qatari nationals and the children of Qatari women.
In her remarks, Assistant Undersecretary for Manpower Affairs Shaikha Abdulrahman al-Badi reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to sustained engagement with private sector partners. She highlighted that the Ministry has been organising these workshops for several years and will continue to do so regularly to strengthen co-operation.
She further emphasised that collaboration with the private sector is a cornerstone of the nationalisation strategy, given its critical role in economic growth and sustainable development. Strengthening joint efforts is essential to achieving the nation's workforce objectives.
Shaikha al-Badi also noted that the ministry is establishing sector-specific councils to facilitate ongoing dialogue between the ministry and private sector institutions. These councils will assess workforce requirements, collect and analyse labour market data, and support the development of tailored human capital strategies.
Addressing the attendees, Director of the National Manpower Recruitment Department Abdulrahman Mohammed Telfat underscored that the Nationalisation Law is driving an unprecedented shift in private sector employment strategies. He further elaborated on the comprehensive framework of the Job Nationalisation Plan, which includes key incentives such as salary subsidies, pension contribution coverage, and performance-based rewards for companies that excel in workforce nationalisation.
Furthermore, the ministry is rolling out targeted training and skills development initiatives to prepare job seekers for both current and future demands in the private sector. These programs aim to develop a highly skilled national workforce capable of enhancing productivity and innovation in the labour market.
The Ministry of Labor aims, by organising consultative workshops periodically with the private sector, to enhance partnership, co-operation, and continuous interaction with this vital sector, support it to participate effectively in the development process, and enable it to benefit from employing qualified national cadres, in line with the Third National Development Strategy, and Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims to develop the national workforce and enhance its role in supporting the national economy, and the development process.
