Doha: In partnership with the Association for Talent Development (ATD), Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) organized the second edition of the Training of Trainers (TOT) National Development Program. This initiative is part of a shared vision to empower national cadres and develop their professional capabilities in line with international standards.
According to Qatar News Agency, with support from Al Rayan Bank, Qatar Stock Exchange, and Qatar Financial Centre, the program aims to prepare a new generation of qualified Qatari trainers in the financial sector. By equipping them with professional training skills, the initiative seeks to enable participants to effectively transfer their knowledge and expertise to others. This approach is expected to contribute to building a sustainable national training system that supports Qatar's economic and social development goals.
Director of Training and Development at QFBA, Majed Abdulaziz Al Khulaifi, highlighted the significance of the program, emphasizing its role in qualifying national competencies capable of leading training operations in the financial sector according to international best practices. He stated that QFBA is committed to developing Qatari trainers to become ambassadors of knowledge and key contributors to building a knowledge-based economy. The program aims to provide participants with an advanced scientific methodology and an integrated training experience that facilitates the delivery of high-quality training programs with tangible impact.
The program's initial phase is an intensive course covering core topics including training program design, content development, presentation strategies, session management, effective learning methods, and trainee evaluation. It also focuses on developing facilitation and career guidance skills, which are further refined in the second phase through mentoring and job shadowing opportunities. This enables participants to apply their learning in real-life work environments, enhancing their readiness to undertake training tasks independently and professionally.
The QFBA continues to offer specialized training programs in partnership with select local and international partners. This is in line with its vision to develop national competencies and qualify them to be effective partners in achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030, contributing to the development of the financial sector, and enhancing its competitiveness at regional and international levels.
