Ooredoo partners with HBKU for strategic learning initiative

Ooredoo has been developing a Strategic Learning Framework to consolidate its approach to staff development, paving the way for the delivery of specialist law courses.

To this end, a programme of legal training has been established, leading to course provision delivered jointly by Ooredoo Qatar and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU)’s College of Law.

Ooredoo chief legal, regulatory & governance officer Sheikh Ali bin Jabor al-Thani and general counsel Martin Schulz were involved in the co-creation of this programme, which echoes the major themes of the newly-released Ooredoo human resources strategy.

Seven modules will be offered at Ooredoo headquarters in West Bay, covering topics like legal writing, fundamentals of commercial law, contract law, data protection, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and the rules and regulations of Free Zones in Qatar.

Delivered by members of the HBKU Law faculty, the classes will be predominantly in a lecture format, supported using case studies.

“Learning and development are increasingly taking centre stage in the global economy and its workforce,” said Ooredoo Qatar chief human resources officer Eman Mubarak al-Khater. “As part of our organisation’s strategy to focus on people and culture, collaborations such as this one with Hamad Bin Khalifa University add to a Strategic Learning Framework which
