USQBC Doha, Amideast Sign Strategic MoU To Advance Workforce Development in Qatar

The US-Qatar Business Council, Doha (USQBC Doha), and Amideast have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to launch joint efforts supporting human capital development, workforce readiness, and private sector advancement in Qatar.

This strategic partnership aligns with the priorities of Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy (NDS3).

The agreement sets the foundation for collaboration on localised training programmes, capacity-building initiatives, and sustained engagement with stakeholders across both public and private sectors.

Through this collaboration, Amideast will extend its international expertise into the Qatari market— supporting the development of a future-ready workforce tailored to national needs and private sector demands.

“The council is committed to enabling private sector growth by advancing programmes that support NDS3’s goals around human capital and economic transformation,” said Sheikha Mayes H al-Thani, managing director of USQBC Doha.

“Partnering with Amideast enhances our ability to deliver targeted support to member companies and the broader ecosystem through relevant, results-driven programming, she added.

“We are pleased to formalise this collaboration with USQBC Doha. Amideast has long delivered impactful workforce and professional development services across the region. 

This partnership allows us to extend that value within Qatar’s dynamic business environment,” said Vincent V DeSomma, vice-president for Development and External Engagement at Amideast.

By aligning their efforts with national development priorities, both organisations reaffirm their commitment to building a robust, market-aligned workforce and driving long-term private sector resilience in Qatar.
