The Branch Managers Programme (Rouwad) aims to build high-calibre Qatari branch managers in collaboration with world-class training consultants.

"We are cognizant of the significance of an educated and empowered youth, and the crucial role they will have to play in the future development of Qatar, hence we are placing the development of future leaders high on our agenda. The launch of these programmes is a testimony to our commitment to help Qatari young talents to grow and prosper," said Dr. Ahmed Al Kuwari.
