Training and Development
Qatar Steel is continuously upgrading training infrastructure, methodologies and programmes. In 2019, Qatar Steel piloted an e-learning programme. A total of 30 employees were selected from different departments to test the programme. They were given between six to seven modules to test over a period of one month. At the end of the program, an evaluation was carried out to assess the success of the e-learning programme. 72% agreed that the program was beneficial; and therefore, Qatar Steel’s management approved the roll out of this programme to a wider number of employees. In the next phase, new modules will be added that include more topics such as HR and finance aiming to enrich an employee’s overall training and exposure to various topics.
