The ‘Tamkeen’ program hosted by Qatar Charity (QC) comprised of an integrated training program that was promoted through QC’s social media channels.
The first phase of the program kicked off in October with the aim of enhancing the economic, social, and psychological skills of individuals, under the support of Etlaqq Business Management and Bedaya Centre.
It featured 6 different types of training workshops with the goal of improving and developing the necessary practical skills, contributing to the transformation of ideas into successful commercial projects.
Around 45 individuals attended the workshops, of which, eight participants made it to the final stage. Moreover, Etlaqq Business management and Bedaya Centre will sponsor four projects which have qualified.
The program targets individuals with ideas and small projects and those in need of training to enter the market, in addition to those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and those willing to have a project that ensures a steady source of income for a more stable life.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the first phase of the program, Jassim Mohamed al-Emadi, director of the Local Development Department at Qatar Charity, thanked the sponsors and participants.
“The ‘Tamkeen’ program aims to enable people to have the opportunities ensuring that they led a stable and happy life at all levels, in support of Qatar National Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, in addition to achieving community partnership with several state institutions," said Al-Emadi.
