Doha, Qatar: As part of its efforts to enhance teaching staff, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education has announced the launch of the 'Tamkeen' training pathway under the 'Tamheen' program. The program targets administrative employees working in public schools and the ministry, aiming to qualify and enable them to join the teaching profession.

The 'Tamkeen' pathway is a comprehensive training program designed to provide administrative personnel who wish to transition into teaching with the necessary educational knowledge, skills, and practical experience. The program is overseen by specialized experts from the Training and Development Center and relevant ministry departments, reflecting the ministry's commitment to offering high-quality training opportunities, developing human resources, and diversifying opportunities for those working in the education sector.

Applications for the 'Tamkeen' pathway are open until September 19, 2024. Training will commence in October 2024 and continue until May 2025. Participants will benefit from several advantages, including full-time commitment throughout the training period, retention of salary and financial allowances, and transition to the academic staff after successfully completing the program, making it a promising opportunity for career growth.

Applicants must be current administrative employees in a public school or the ministry, Qatari, children of Qatari women, or GCC nationals. They must hold a bachelor's degree in a non-educational field and provide performance evaluation documents showing a rating of at least 'Very Good' in their current role over the past two years.

Additionally, candidates must pass an Arabic language test, submit an essay outlining their motivation for joining the pathway, and successfully complete a personal interview.
