Under its Sahem programme, Jusour is providing two services - part-time work opportunities and visa extension - for the targeted students. The services are available through Jusour website ( ).

Speaking to Qatar TV recently, he said that the second service is extending the residential permit of graduates, enabling them to get suitable jobs and join the job market.

Jusour delivers a suite of services under multiple programmes targeting job seekers and employers seeking access to and participation in Qatar's labour market.
“There are four main programmes. Sahem is one these programmes which aims at involving community members in the economic development of the country. We launched two services under the programme recently,” said Al Mulla.
