Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC), founded by Qatar Foundation (QF), celebrated on National Sport Day (NSD) 2025 this Tuesday with a series of engaging and inclusive career activities at Oxygen Park in Education City.

QCDC's participation in NSD 2025 was marked by a variety of interactive games and exercises designed to promote physical fitness and career development. Attendees of all ages and abilities, along with volunteers from the ‘EmpowerAbility’ program, took part in activities that emphasized teamwork, communication, inclusivity, and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Saad Abdulla Al-Kharji, Acting Director of QCDC, commented: "An active lifestyle is integral to achieving career success, as physical well-being is essential in achieving mental well-being, and in turn the ability to excel in the professional life.”

“We are especially proud to collaborate again with volunteers with learning difficulties from the EmpowerAbility program who supported our activations. National Sport Day is a vital platform for showcasing their abilities and promoting career-building skills," he concluded.

It is worth mentioning that throughout 2024, QCDC had launched the "2 Hours of Sport" initiative, a monthly program encouraging staff to engage in various team sports to build team cohesion and maintain a sustained interest in physical activity.
