The DECA chapter at Cherry Creek High School partnered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) for their community service project. They set goals to raise money to send children to MDA summer camp, educate their school and community about muscular dystrophy, and enhance DECA's community outreach. Members volunteered at MDA camp and organized various fundraising activities throughout the year. They succeeded in raising over $4,600 and committing over 2,400 hours to support MDA families and find a cure for this disease. The project helped DECA members develop leadership, social, and community service skills while making a positive impact.

They also perform special prayers at mosques at night. The month is celebrated with lights and festivities, and ends with Eid al-Fitr. Non-Muslims are asked to be respectful by not eating or drinking in public during fasting hours and to wish Muslims "Ramadan Kareem."

This document discusses a study on employee perspectives on training in Qatar's oil and gas based industries. It investigates the views of Qatari workers at six major companies on the significance of education for training, the match between their education and jobs, needs for further training, and training opportunities provided. Key findings include that while formal education provides basic skills, continuous training is more important for developing specific skills needed in these industries. Most workers felt their education matched their jobs and needed further training to enhance skills. Educational attainment did affect some training outcomes but not factors like training objectives or facilities.

Re inventing the role of education during times of economic downturn at the ...DR Hend Al Muftah
This document discusses re-inventing the role of education during economic downturns in GCC countries. It notes that GCC populations rely heavily on non-national workforces and their economies depend on oil and gas. During 2004-2008, unemployment increased from 4.2% to 17% and globalization/technology require new skills. Education reforms aim to make nations more competitive by raising human capital quality and reducing reliance on foreign workers. Reforms include restructuring curriculum to integrate modern/international standards, IT, and work-related skills. Strong partnerships with industry are developed through work experience, committee involvement, and accreditation. While education provides general skills, on-the-job training is crucial for imparting specific, job-
This document discusses factors affecting the career choices and retention of female students in engineering programs in Qatar. It finds that while female students make up over half of the student population at Qatar University, they remain underrepresented in engineering majors. The main driving forces for female students' choice of and persistence in engineering were self-confidence, job opportunities, and personal interest in engineering. However, female students faced restraining forces such as the rigor of engineering curricula, poor teaching quality, and discouragement from families. The document concludes that low enrollment of females in engineering in Qatar is more due to a lack of attraction to engineering rather than retention issues. It provides recommendations for various stakeholders to help attract and support more female students in engineering.

It finds that while Qatari females are well represented in medium and lower management, they are still lagging in reaching senior management levels.

The document concludes that gender-specific and gender difference factors, rather than organizational factors, are the major barriers hindering Qatari female career advancement. It suggests actions like education, supportive infrastructure, and family-friendly policies and regulations to further facilitate female participation in senior roles.
