PwC puts forward talent agenda for Qatar’s manufacturing skills gap

The manufacturing sector in Qatar is a priority sector under the National Vision 2030 programme and a key contributor to the government's economic diversification agenda.

While the government and private sector are channelling considerable investments into industrial initiatives, research by PwC shows that the sector is facing a number of challenges on its journey – including a looming talent gap.

In its report, titled ‘Qatar’s manufacturing sector: Bridging the skills gap to drive sector growth’, PwC’s researchers found that the skills gap could reach a peak of more than 20,000 jobs in the coming eight-year period.
