Qatar Fertiliser Company (Qafco) organised one-day career fair in Al-Sharq Hotel last week to attract a number of Qatari youth to fill administrative and technical positions.
Qatarisation in the company is more than 14 percent now and focusing on technical aspects, the Qatarisation programme covers all field of administrative, finance and technical positions, said Mariam Matter, Director of Public Relations and Communications of Qafco.
The company is committed to maximise the number of Qatari nationals in its workforce along with efforts on focusing the development of existing nationals at the workforce as well as recruiting fresh Qataris in various levels including engineering, technical, vocational and administrative disciplines.
During the career fair, the company has offered several vacancies for degree holders and high school graduates from both arts and science streams.
Job vaccines available for university degree holders included supply chain (contract, purchasing, stores), information technology, engineering and chemical labs.
Vacancies for high school students included security, firefighting, operators of ammonia, technicians (electricity, mechanical, and sophisticated equipment) and storekeepers.
Exhibitors received applicants from 9 am to 7 pm and explained and responded to their enquiries abut available vacancies, training and capacity building programme.
Applicants were also able to apply online and send CVs and required documents, along filling hard copy of applications.
There are Qatari engineers in the company and those who are conducting the interviews with applicants now are all Qataris, Mariam told The Peninsula on the sidelines of the event.
The company has provided with scholarships in Qatar and abroad to employees, and many of them have finished their courses and joined the company.
"The company takes part in all career fairs organised in the country and this is our first fair and we have a plan to make it on annual basis in accordance to the company's needs," said Mariam. "We have joint programmes with Qatar Petroleum, and many of the secondary schools graduates get training in QP, and sometimes they also send their staffs for training in our company," Mariam added.
"Our company believe that human resources development is essential in line with Qatar vision giving priority to Qatari cadres and attract them and we train them to take certain positions in the company," Mariam said.
Qafcois the country's first large-scale venture in the petrochemical sector, and the company has evolved into a world-class fertiliser producer. Qafcois now the world's largest single-site producer of ammonia and urea and thereby made Qatar the world's fourth largest urea producer.
