Qatar Career Development Centre (QCDC), a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), has launched the latest iteration of its ‘EmpowerAbility’ career development programme, to support individuals with disabilities and learning difficulties.
The initiative, launched ahead of Qatar National Day, brought together 13 volunteers and key partner organisations — such as the Ministry of Labour, Qatar Charity’s Ezdehar Platform, Qatar Voluntary Centre, the Young Entrepreneurs Club, Wafeeq Platform, and Qatar Manpower Solutions & Co. ‘Jusour’ — to make significant contributions toward organising the Darb Al Saai Qatar National Day activations.
Participants received specialised training from the Qatar Voluntary Centre, equipping them to take on key roles in planning and executing various activities at Darb Al Saai. The participation demonstrates their immense potential and showcases their ability to meaningfully contribute to the workforce and society at large.
Saad Abdulla al-Kharji, acting director of QCDC, said: "Programmes like ‘EmpowerAbility’ underscore the critical role stakeholders play in building an inclusive and thriving society. By mobilising efforts and resources, we can create meaningful opportunities for people of all abilities to contribute to the community. The success of this initiative reflects the power and impact of collective action, and we are grateful to our partners and volunteers for their dedication to this cause."
In addition to their efforts at Darb Al Saai, ‘EmpowerAbility’ participants will host special activities at Al Hazm Mall tomorrow. The public is invited to join in the Qatar National Day celebrations and witness the hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment of the volunteers firsthand.
