Volunteer mentors trained for Enterprise Challenge Qatar 2015



Bedaya Centre and Qatar Shell have delivered training to some 80 volunteer mentors, who will in turn coach hundreds of students across Qatar who will participate in Enterprise Challenge Qatar 2015.
Enterprise Challenge Qatar (ECQ) is a programme that encourages young people in Qatar to consider entrepreneurship as a career by enhancing their business knowledge and equipping them with valuable business skills such as teamwork and strategic thinking.
The programme is delivered to students by volunteer mentors from a variety of professional backgrounds, some of whom are business owners with experience in establishing and leading successful businesses.
This year, Bedaya and Qatar Shell are co-operating with the Qatar Centre for Voluntary Activities to attract more volunteer mentors to be part of Enterprise Challenge Qatar 2015. The mentors participate in a series of “train-the-trainer” sessions in order to equip them with the skills needed to coach students on general business skills as well as on how to make profits in an ethical manner.
Abdullah al-Mushiri, one of the Enterprise Challenge Qatar 2015 volunteer mentors, said: “I am delighted to have been chosen as a volunteer mentor for Enterprise Challenge Qatar and to be part of Bedaya and Qatar Shell’s mission to spread the entrepreneurial spirit among young people in Qatar. I took part in this training to give back to my community and inspire young people in Qatar to become future leaders.”
The Enterprise Challenge Qatar programme has different levels for high school and university students and is made up of three parts. These are the Ethical Business Challenge, which tests participants’ ability to balance the economic, environmental and social performance of their company; Business Simulation, which familiarises students with general business concepts from inception through to trading, finance, sales, marketing and production; and the Grand Finals, where universities and schools teams compete and the team with the best business skills and the highest score wins.
The Enterprise Challenge Qatar 2015 programme will run throughout September and October, with the Grand Finals competition for universities taking place on November 11.  The programme for schools will commence in January 2016, with the Grand Finals taking place in April 2016.
The Enterprise Challenge Qatar programme has rapidly expanded, with a growing number of institutions, businesses, schools and mentors getting involved in the programme.
