Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), in partnership with INJAZ Qatar, has successfully concluded the 2024/25 cycle of the nationwide Life Skills Program, reaching more than 27,000 students across 71 schools.
The initiative, aimed at empowering youth with essential economic and personal development skills, marks a significant milestone in fostering future-ready generations across Qatar.
This three-year program, developed under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, was designed to equip Grade 7 and Grade 9 students with the skills they need to succeed in both their academic and professional lives. The Life Skills for Preparatory Students project is comprised of two distinct programs tailored to each grade level.
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 that, “This program represents our long-term commitment to supporting the youth of Qatar through practical, forward-thinking education.”
“By focusing on life and financial skills at the preparatory level, we are contributing to the development of confident, capable individuals who are ready to shape their own futures. This initiative aligns with QIB’s social responsibility framework and supports the broader goals of Qatar National Vision 2030,” Al Derham added.
Emad Al Khaja, CEO of INJAZ Qatar, commented that, “We are happy to continue our successful collaboration with QIB. 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.
