DOHA: Aspire Academy’s grade 12 student-athletes have been learning about the steps needed to transition from education to the workplace and ultimately be successful in that environment.

The Academy’s Human Resources (HR) team organised the “Office Experience Simulation Exercise” event to offer the student-athletes a realistic experience of applying for jobs and then integrating into the workplace.

Aspire Academy’s Director of Human Resources, Khalid AlHamar, explained why the exercise was so important.

“This exercise is a crucial part of Aspire Academy’s holistic approach to educating our student-athletes. It is not just about educating them in the classroom. It is about preparing them for life after school, too,” he explained.

“It is our duty to equip our student-athletes with all the necessary tools and information for them to be able to thrive after they have left us.”
