The Social Development Center (SDC) supports, develops and invests in human resources through a set of programs and services that help Qatari families achieve self-reliance. It promotes the building of stable and self-sufficient families by offering workplace training and engendering a work ethic in low-income families, women and young people.
A series of initiatives enables individuals to acquire skills that will help them earn a wage, support a high-quality family life and contribute to the economy.
SDC arranges vocational training, workshops and conferences, and it forges partnerships with the government and the private sector to support community projects.
Qatari companies and agencies provide training and employment placements, while community development projects create business opportunities for families and individuals. Training programs offer individuals the opportunity to acquire managerial, financial, technical and marketing skills.
The Social Development Center also nurtures traditional craft skills such as metalwork, tailoring, catering, knitting, ceramics and wool weaving.
