"This event help students of the Management Science Division to acquire the required management knowledge and applied skills, by linking the educational process and the obtained theoretical knowledge, to the actual reality of the business environment, in a way that highlights the potential challenges and how to overcome them. "
Dr Bakhit pointed out that 'Qatari business success stories' comes as part of the efforts to promote entrepreneurship among students of the Management Science Division in general, and Public Administration students in particular.
Al-Hajri said the students of CCQ represent different segments of the Qatari society, including employees in the public sector as well as creative people in various fields, having the ability to acquire new skills through continuous learning with a passion for work, which are considered one of the important foundations for the success of any pilot project.
"The Community College of Qatar, with the various academic programmes it offers, provides students with knowledge to enhance their capabilities as entrepreneurs, preparing them to learn how to effectively manage a business," the Qatari entrepreneur said while observing that there is a need for college graduates to have professional courage and implement and develop pioneering projects and achieve their dreams.
Al-Hajri spoke about his experience in the field of entrepreneurship, and the origin of Snoonu, which started as a graduation project while he was studying at HEC Paris in Qatar. Since then it has become one of the fastest-growing startups in Qatar.
