QCDC event focuses on comprehensive career guidance

Qatar Career Development Centre (QCDC), will hold the Career Guidance Stakeholders 2022 event today aiming to enhance comprehensive career guidance services with career guidance services at all levels of schools and to include people with special needs.

“Our main desire is for the stakeholders to continue embracing the platform as a viable national networking and synergy building mechanism that can position career guidance in Qatar in its’ rightful place," Effrosyni Parampota, senior career programmes & Services Officer at QCDC told, Gulf Times.

"Through this collaborative process, we want to further promote working on both key operational and strategic issues aligned with the QNV pillar on human capital development in the country,” she explained.

“We want to capitalise on the experiences to strengthen career guidance services through multiple channels, streamline, and strengthen the provision of career guidance in schools that are currently limited to high school settings to both primary and secondary level. This also includes people with special needs who often complete their secondary education without adequate career management skills and deal with many challenges,” said Parampota.

The official also said that by collecting evidence to address skills’ gaps and emergent future demands, QCDC hopes to boost the employability of higher education
