Online applications for the National Leadership Programs – Rising Leaders, Executive Leaders, and Government Leaders – are open until 22 September 2019. Enrollment into these programs is determined through a stringent evaluation process spanning September 2019 to early 2020, where candidates will be assessed based on their work experience and academic background.
The admissions criteria are unique to each National Leadership Program, as they provide custom coursework that is aimed at bolstering specialist knowledge in various fields. Upon admission, successful candidates who meet the rigorous standards for admission will benefit from the Centre’s curricula and the combined knowledge of their prestigious international academic partners.
“Qatar Leadership Centre seeks to realize the full potential of Qatari leadership across all tiers of seniority and industrial sectors. We strive to strengthen the country’s national workforce through the development of their professional skills, allowing them to fulfill their personal goals while ensuring that their respective organizations prosper,” said His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Abdulla bin Ali Al-Thani, Board Member and Managing Director of QLC. “As per His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani’s vision, we have become a hub and a national platform of leadership development, helping the country realize the human development goals prescribed in Qatar National Vision 2030. We are more committed than ever to training present and future Qatari leaders, ensuring that the country sustains its rapid development for the foreseeable future.”
The National Leadership Programs were designed and developed in conjunction with esteemed educational institutions, including University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, HEC Paris, Harvard University, Georgetown University, Duke University, University of Chicago, Civil Service College Singapore as well as International Advisory Group, Profiles International, and Al Jazeera Media Institute. The programs feature comprehensive coursework, including modules on strategic corporate policymaking, crisis leadership, financial management, negotiation and persuasion skills as well as communication, branding, and positioning in competitive markets.
Notably, program participants’ education extends beyond the classroom as QLC regularly schedules exclusive meetings with influential leaders in Qatar, the region, and throughout the world, allowing them to learn from experiences shaped in the highest-level boardrooms and offices in the public, private and government sectors. The programs also incorporate their own annual week-long Learning Journey, as participants travel to meet leading executives and experts in important markets, such as Sweden, Japan, Singapore, the U.S.A. and others, to observe and absorb insights developed by leading figures spearheading innovation at the government and corporate level. Due to the in-depth nature of these programs, participants are required to dedicate three to five days a month throughout the academic year.
QLC boasts an alumni community of more than 600 business and government leaders, who continue to guide and shape the country’s development informed by the specialist knowledge they have obtained through the National Leadership Programs.
