Speaking to journalists after launching a new diploma programme at the college, he said they were ready to receive any student wishing to resume their diploma or bachelor’s degree. This would be done by equating the number of hours and subjects studied at universities of the blockading countries.
The goal of the initiative is to help such students and alleviate some of their suffering by providing them with an opportunity to obtain a degree.
He said the acceptance of students will be done in compliance with the college’s policies, which include the students obtaining sufficient grades and the availability of the academic programme they wish to join.
CCQ has announced the launch of a new programme on logistics and supply chain operations, which will begin in fall 2017. Officials said the launch is topical in light of the State’s expansion of export-import activities with a growing number of countries around the world.
This development means that government institutions and private businesses will require an efficient management of these operations, something provided by the new programme. Mastering the logistics and supply chain operations will help honour local and international contracts, supplying and storing products sustainably and properly, which would enhance the profitability of companies. There is also an increased demand for logistics management in the sport, aviation and maritime transport fields.
The new programme will empower students by providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the inflow of information and products as part of the supply chain of companies and government institutions. Some of the goals of the programme will be providing students with the ability to analyse different situations to make the appropriate decision, and using technology to facilitate the processing of supplying.
The programme will equip the college’s students with new skills that will help them get access to job opportunities in the field of logistics at airports, ports, factories, logistics companies, hospitals as well as sporting institutions and many other sectors.
Al-Naimi said this particular specialisation is in high demand in the job market across several sectors.
He also announced that the college will inaugurate a new building in Al Khor. Fall of 2017 will mark the Al Khor building’s first semester, but it will be fully functional in January 2018. It will serve the entire northern area and have a capacity of 1,500 students.
The college has also launched a hotline, 16070, aimed to help students who wish to join a particular programme by answering any queries they might have.
