Meanwhile, the 'It's My Future' programme for Grade 9 students focused on career readiness, helping them build a personal brand, explore job opportunities, write resumes, and develop the skills and behaviours needed to succeed in the job market. Commenting on the success of the first year's program, Mashaal Abdulaziz Al Derham, assistant general manager, head of corporate communications and quality assurance at QIB, said: 'We are pleased to see the strong results of our collaboration with INJAZ Qatar. This programme represents our long-term commitment to supporting the youth of Qatar through practical, forward-thinking education.

Together, we are building an ecosystem of learning that extends beyond the classroom and prepares young students to make informed life and career choices. This collaboration remains a strong model for impactful educational outreach in the region.' The QIB-INJAZ Qatar collaboration highlights a shared commitment to empowering youth in Qatar by bridging the gap between education and real-world skills. With a growing impact year over year, the Life Skills Program continues to support the development of future-ready generations who can actively contribute to the country's economic and social progress.
