The University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) organized Career Fair 2025, welcoming participation from over 95 local and international companies representing key industries across Qatar and beyond. The two-day event, organized by the Student Central Services Department, provided over 2,450 opportunities for full-time and part-time employment, sponsorships, internships, and cooperative training.

The event was inaugurated by Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of UDST, in the presence of H.E. Dr. Mohammed Saleh Al-Sada, Chairman of UDST’s Board of Trustees, and Dr. Mohammed Yousef Al-Mulla, Vice-Chair of UDST’s Board of Trustees and Managing Director and CEO of Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO). Attendees included UDST students, alumni, and high school students exploring career pathways.

Industry Engagement and Digital Operations

The Career Fair serves as a flagship annual event connecting students and graduates directly with industry leaders while helping employers access skilled talent. Throughout the event, attendees engaged in live interviews, networking sessions, and career development activities, reflecting UDST’s applied learning approach that bridges education with employment preparation.

The event operated entirely through paperless systems, with students submitting CVs and applications through the university’s digital application platform. This approach aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030’s sustainability objectives and demonstrates UDST’s integration of technology into operational practices.

“Career Fair represents a pivotal milestone in the University’s ongoing efforts to empower its students and alumni, preparing them for active participation in the job market,” said Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of UDST. “Guided by our mission of applied education, we are committed to building strong partnerships with public and private sector institutions, ensuring that our graduates are well-equipped to contribute to a national economy driven by knowledge and innovation.”

Participating employers represented sectors including energy, construction, banking, finance, healthcare, IT, and public services, demonstrating the breadth of industries engaged with UDST’s academic programs.

Preparation and Historical Context

In preparation for the fair, UDST organized career-readiness workshops and CV and interview coaching sessions designed to develop student competencies in professional communication and application processes.

The 2025 edition builds on Career Fair 2024’s outcomes, which hosted 80 organizations, welcomed over 2,000 students and alumni, and received more than 14,200 CVs leading to over 1,200 employment and internship opportunities.
