University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) signed a memorandum of understanding with Vodafone Qatar to establish a co-operation framework that benefits students and employees from both organisations.
Present at the ceremony were Dr Salem Al-Naemi, president of UDST and Khames Mohammed al-Naimi, chief human resources officer from Vodafone in addition to a number of officials from both sides.
The agreement sets a common platform for sharing experiences and conducting customised training courses.
Vodafone will be invited to join the university’s Programme Advisory Committee and provide internships to UDST students and support them in their capstone project work.
Students will have the chance to visit Vodafone’s data centre and other telecom infrastructure sites to enhance their field skills.
Furthermore, the MoU will create many hiring opportunities for UDST graduates and especially for Qatari students and those who were born in Qatar.
The co-operation extends to include research and commercial collaboration in the field of communication.
Dr Al-Naemi said: “UDST adopts a student-centred approach to education, therefore our learning is focused on hearing from our students, giving them a choice, supporting them to develop their competencies and skills, and keeping a close eye on their needs. Every partnership we build aims at offering them opportunities to develop, grow and become innovators in their field of choice. We are glad to be collaborating with a partner who shares the same vision and is willing to invest in these young talents. We look forward to seeing great results coming from this strong collaboration.”
“At Vodafone, we are committed to developing the talents of Qatari youth by providing them with the knowledge and skills to help them build their careers. We are proud to be collaborating with UDST, and look forward to working with the students to become part of a growing pool of talent whose influence will be crucial to the future digital aspirations of Qatar,” al-Naimi from Vodafone Qatar added.
