Qatar Why attend Career Development Qatar?

It is vital to develop the future leaders of organisations positioning Qatar as a prime market in the Middle East, building success in developing high value industries and implementing major national and international investments.

Career Development Qatar focuses on the learning and skills development programmes needed to achieve these goals.

Career Development Qatar is the showcase event for learning and skills development in Qatar. It will equip you with the tools to enhance your team development plans and deliver genuine business performance gains. You’ll get a comprehensive understanding of the entire spectrum of methods, products and services available for workplace learning and employee development.

Career Development Qatar gives you the critical skills and insights to develop strategies and initiatives to build employee engagement and drive business objectives by:  Building a career development strategy aligned with your organisation’s strategy backbone to support business goals  Addressing gaps in skill requirements and competency targets to meet your business objectives  Implement effective succession planning to instill a sense of purpose and motivate employees  Effectively leveraging individual goals, expectations and drivers to build motivation and drive growth  Developing an attractive reward mix: striking an effective balance between monetary and non-monetary benefits And much more...

Learn from your best in class peers – Key Qatari organisations are sending speakers to the event for you to engage with.

With over 12 years of success running the Career Development conference in the UAE, and backed by the weight of the HR Summit series, the event will be the prime meeting place for Qatar’s career development specialists.

You’ll get critical insight from Qatar’s top talent managers and people developers. You’ll learn the most effective approaches they’ve implemented to facilitate best in class team planning, communication, mutual understanding and commitment to organisational direction.

As organisations focus on staff productivity, commitment and motivation to create new opportunities for growth and development, it’s essential that you are equipping your staff with the skills they need to outperform their targets, and shape the leaders of tomorrow’s business.

Career Development Qatar will show you how to design and enable career paths and progression for high potential Qatari nationals. It will gather the heads of training, HR and development from the top Qatari organisations.
