Doha: Qatar University offers students employment programme designed to enhance their skills and improve their career prospects during their academic years.

The programme aims to enrich the educational experience and provide essential services to the University community.

To qualify for the programme, a student must be enrolled at Qatar University, have completed at least 24 credit hours with a GPA of 2.5 or higher, and have successfully attended the career excellence workshop.

Abdullah Al Kibisi, a law student at Qatar University, sharing his experience with The Peninsula said: “This is my first role within the University’s employment programme. I am currently working as a dramatist at the Department of Culture and Arts, where I write plays for the department and the Student Theatre Group, of which I am a member.” 

Al Kibisi noted that this role has refined his play-writing skills and complemented his major field of drafting legal documents. He added, “This opportunity has enhanced my Arabic writing skills and allowed me to gain recognition for my work. It has also connected me with an international community of skilled writers and helped me engage more deeply with the University community.”
