BARWA's commitment to support youth career opportunities

Doha, Qatar - 18th March 2009: BARWA Real Estate (BARWA), one of the premier organizations in the State of Qatar, was a proud supporter of the first "Career Day" organized by Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Qatar) on 12th March 2009.

Open to all SFS-Qatar students, the inaugural career fair attracted 30 prestigious public and private sector employers to discuss future professional opportunities with the students. In particular, student attention focused on BARWA's recently announced professional training & development programs - BARWA Academic Sponsorship Program (ASP) and Internship Training Program (ITP).

The two programs offer talented university students the opportunity to reinforce and continue their learning in different skill areas when they enter the job market. BARWA's involvement with the SFS-Qatar Career Fair, and its professional training & development programs, underline the company's corporate responsibility commitment to support the youth of Qatar to have a direct positive effect on the long term success of Qatar.

"SFS-Qatar Career Fair was a great opportunity for BARWA to promote our organization and interact with potential employees. We met many well educated, highly qualified students and BARWA would be delighted to receive applications for our ASP & ITP training and development programs from SFS-Qatar students," said Mr. Ghanim Jaber Alkubaisi, BARWA's Training and development Manager.

Mr. Alkubaisi was impressed with the high level of transferable skills of the SFS-Qatar students: "As well as providing an inspiring education, it was very evident that SFS-Qatar is providing students with transferable skills, such as communication and analytical skills, which are vital in the business world today."
