In Doha, Qatar, the Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC) and the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) have opened enrollment for the "Certified Career Advisor Preparation Programme." This seven-week program, running from November 2 to December 14, 2026, aims to bolster career guidance practice across Qatar. Targeting career and academic counsellors, career services providers, talent acquisition specialists, and recent graduates, the curriculum prepares attendees to enhance career guidance services and meet the demands of an evolving education and labor market.
Upon completion, participants will be eligible for the Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) credential from the American National Career Development Association (NCDA).
Saad Abdulla Al-Kharji, QCDC's Executive Director, highlighted the program's significance: "Career guidance has evolved into a strategic function, pivotal for both individuals and institutions. This initiative, in partnership with QFBA, equips practitioners with the necessary professional foundations, practical tools, and recognized standards to guide individuals and communities effectively."
Dr. Khalifa Al-Salahi Al-Yafei, CEO of QFBA, emphasized the importance of career guidance in national talent development: "Career guidance is a crucial starting point for investing in Qatar's talent. By aligning individuals' aspirations with the labor market's needs, we empower them to make informed decisions about their academic and professional paths. Our collaboration with QCDC underscores our joint commitment to elevating Qatar's career guidance standards, fostering a more robust workforce for the nation's future."
