Various Workshops and Activities
The two-week camp will feature a variety of activities and educational programs, as well as stimulating workshops that have been designed to provide students with a practical skill set and knowledge that can help inspire them when planning their career and academic paths. Workshops will be equally beneficial for career guidance, building the students’ confidence towards right decision-making for a bright future.

Students will have access to QCDC’s Career Advising System, which features diverse and innovative components as well as psychometric and personality assessment tools to help students identify the most appropriate academic and career paths in line with the future needs of Qatar. A full day will be dedicated to training students on a range of life skills designed to prepare youth and shape their personalities before joining universities. These include “Getting Ready For University,” “How to Prepare your Resume” and “How to Introduce Yourself to Society,” in addition to training on a set of practical skills that students will find useful when traveling for a study abroad trip.
Site Visits and Job Shadowing Programs
The camp offers opportunities for site visits and job shadowing programs at leading organizations in Qatar, providing students with first-hand knowledge of workplace environments to give them a glimpse into career and professional life and help them match their abilities and skills with various career choices.

The two-week camp will feature six days dedicated to site visits to institutions operating across various sectors in Qatar. These include:

  • ‘Medical Day’ sponsored by Hamad Medical Corporation.
  • ‘Agriculture Day’ sponsored by the Quranic Botanic Garden.
  • ‘Engineering Day’ sponsored by Qatar Petroleum.

Students will also participate in a visit to Al Shaqab while a full day will be dedicated to a field trip to the Visual Art Center, which will allow students to develop their talents and explore their artistic skills.

These workshops aim to equip students with a wide range of personal and life skills as well as to bolster their self-confidence, communication skills, and teamwork among other skills that will come in handy when entering the labor market.
