Qatargas reaches out to students at Summer Career Boot Camp

Qatargas has participated in the first ever Summer Career Boot Camp organised by Qatar Career Fair (QCF) in partnership with Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) and the Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology (ictQATAR). 

Around 50 Qatari high-school students participated in the camp, which was held from June 30 to July 4 at Awsaj Academy on the Education City premises.

The aim of the camp was to provide a motivating and educating experience for Qatari high-school students, which would help them take decisions related to their educational or career plans and equip them with relevant experiences and skills.

Students benefited from career orientation-related workshops designed to build their confidence. During the camp, they were also offered site visit opportunities and job shadowing programmes at leading organisations in Qatar so as to give them a first-hand understanding of what to expect in the real world.

On the last day of the camp, Qatargas participated in a mini fair that helped showcase the internship opportunities and future career prospects available in the company.  Representatives from the company’s learning & development and public relations departments attended the event.

Qatargas runs a Summer Internship Programme for Qatari national high-school and university students. It allows the students to familiarise themselves with and gain experience of a real working environment at the company’s locations. This is implemented as part of an agreement between Qatargas and the education sector.

The internship programme also provides opportunities for interns to apply for employment at Qatargas, which recently won a Qatarisation award for its support of and liaison with the education sector.
