EAA, American Chamber of Commerce team up to expand ‘Qatar Connection'
Tribune News Network Doha Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, a global foundation for education and development, has announced a new collaboration agreement with the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar, marking a strategic step to further strengthen the 'Qatar Connection' platform, a key pillar of the Qatar Scholarship Programme. The partnership aims to provide Qatar Scholarship recipients with meaningful opportunities to complement their academic experience with real-world professional and knowledge exchange engagements in Qatar. The Qatar Scholarship Programme is one of EAA Foundation's flagship higher education and empowerment initiatives. It is built on three core pillars: access to quality education, civic engagement, and the Qatar Connection component. The partnership opens new pathways for students to engage in academic, professional, and cultural exchange opportunities with leading international corporations as well as Qatari institutions from both the public and private sectors, most notably the Foundation's strategic partner, the Qatar Fund for Development. The 'Qatar Connection' component is designed to ensure that recipients of the Qatar Scholarship Programme remain actively connected to the State of Qatar. This is achieved through student exchange programmes, internships, and a wide range of cultural and community-based activities implemented in collaboration with partners in Qatar. Through its network of member companies, the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar will provide Qatar Scholarship students with information on available training programmes, professional development opportunities, and job openings. The collaboration also includes the organisation of joint events, including career fairs and professional meet-and-greets that will connect students directly with business leaders operating in Qatar. Commenting on the partnership, Talal Alhathal, director of the Al Fakhoora Programme at EAA Foundation, said: 'We believe that connecting students to real-world professional environments within Qatar significantly enriches their learning journey and equips them to become impactful leaders in their communities. We are pleased with this partnership which supports the vision of Qatar Connection as a bridge between education and the labour market for our scholarship recipients.' Jay Turk, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar, added: 'In my opinion, this joint collaboration with Education Above All complements our shared commitment to talent development by supporting scholarship recipients with opportunities to access training or programs through AmCham members. By joining forces, we aim to create a tangible, lasting impact both locally and internationally.' For more information about Education Above All Foundation and its mission, visit
