(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar Career Development Centre (QCDC) and Awsaj Academy, both members
of Qatar Foundation, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU)
yesterday aimed at enhancing the delivery of career guidance services at
Awsaj Academy.
The MoU, which was signed on the sidelines of QCDC's Career Guidance
Stakeholders Platform 2018, will contribute to the efforts aimed at
instilling a career guidance culture within Qatar's socioeconomic
fabric. QCDC has tailored the initiative to students who are eager to
learn outside the classroom.
The programme will unfold in two stages: the pilot phase, designed for
the remainder of the 2018 academic year, will bring together 20 senior
students from the Awsaj Prime programme launched in February 2015 as
Qatar's first blended learning programme; while the second phase is
planned for the next academic year 2018-2019, and will target more
students. QCDC will work with Awsaj Academy on enhancing its delivery of
career guidance services through a four-step process that falls in line
with the best international practices and adapts specially selected
models into the local context in a bid to help guide youth into making
informed choices about their future.
The initiative will also create more opportunities for students and
graduates to grow their skills, reshape society's approach to education
and learning, and establish local career ecosystems that work.
Awsaj Academy is a K-12 specialised school that addresses the needs of
students with mild to moderate learning challenges. Awsaj Academy is the
only school of its kind in Qatar and one of only a handful of schools
dedicated to working with students who have demonstrated aptitude in
certain areas while facing academic challenges in others.
