The program provided holistic professional development services to 14 participants with disabilities in different work environments to enhance their ability to understand and integrate different abilities in the labour market and trained participants with disabilities on basic transferable employability skills through a series of workshops, interactive educational activities, and career guidance and counselling sessions held by the centre over three weeks, culminating in the participants’ contribution in organizing the state’s Sports Day events in 10 different locations.

This cooperation between QCDC and the Ministry of Labour is part of a long-term strategic relationship that aims to promote inclusiveness in training and work, qualify national cadres, increase their readiness, and enhance their ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in the world of work. (QNA)
