Kaabi hails 25 years of Qatarisation as catalyst for energy sector growth
Tribune News Network Doha Minister of State for Energy Affairs HE Saad Sherida Al Kaabi chaired the energy sector's 25th annual Qatarisation review meeting in the presence of senior executives and representatives from the companies participating in the Energy Sector Strategic Qatarisation Plan. Al Kaabi congratulated the participating companies on their achievements throughout the past 25 years and reaffirmed that Qatarisation continues to remain a key strategic objective for Qatar's energy sector. Al Kaabi said, 'I am pleased to note the dedicated efforts by Qatar's energy sector to deliver on our commitments. And, on our 25th anniversary, I can comfortably say that Qatarisation has grown beyond being a policy into becoming a transformative force that is enabling more and more achievements across our sector.' The minister praised efforts to further improve their strategic workforce and Qatarisation planning processes and to ensure that plans are aligned with each organization's vision and corporate objectives. The minister also provided an overview of some of the energy sector's strategic projects and investments across the energy value chain, which require the development of a workforce that will help maximise returns on those investments. 'This is why,' the minister added, 'Qatarisation is an important part of our growth plans, allowing us to ensure a pipeline of national talent that can lead our companies now, and in the future.' Concluding his remarks, Al Kaabi said, 'We have never wavered in our commitment to giving opportunities to young Qataris to build rewarding careers and to develop our national competencies in almost every field.' The minister presented the annual Qatarisation crystal awards, which are given to companies in recognition of their achievements in four categories.
