Qatar National Library announced the launch of the Murshidi Program, a mentorship initiative designed to support students and young professionals in achieving their academic and career goals. The program offers weekly sessions led by a dynamic group of experts, educators, professionals, and leaders from across Qatar, including distinguished alumni and faculty from Education City and diverse organizations across Qatar.
Under the slogan “Take your academic and career aspirations to the next level!”, the program provides students and young professionals with personalized advice and insights on a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, engineering, information technology, finance and more.
The program builds on the success of the Library’s earlier Unlock Your Future initiative.
“The Murshidi Program reflects the Library’srole in supporting the youth of Qatar by equipping them with the tools, guidance and support they need to succeed and thrive in an ever-evolving academic and professional landscape,” said Maram Al Mahmoud, manager of the Children’s and Young Adults’ Section at Qatar National Library. “Through this initiative, we are creating a space where students can directly leverage QNL’s network of experienced mentors and experts to help them shape their individual academic and professional journeys with clarity and confidence.”
For the month of May, the program will feature four sessions, held every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, offering students the chance to interact directly with their mentor of choice. These sessions will begin with an introductory meeting and continue with one-on-one guidance tailored to each student’s interests and goals.
What distinguishes this program is its unique mentorship model, which connects young students and professionals with multiple mentors, each bringing distinct expertise, perspectives and experiences. These mentors not only provide personalized guidance and support but also draw on their networks to create connections and open doors to training, career advancement, and professional development.
Professor Hilal Lashuel, Research Development and Innovation Advisor to HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, said: “This program was born from a deep belief in the promising potential of our youth. Many of them already have the passion and capabilities; they simply need guidance, encouragement and opportunities to build their confidence. By surrounding them with committed mentors, we aim to help them unlock their full potential and empower them to contribute meaningfully to their communities and create a lasting impact on society.”
Whether you’re a high school student preparing for university or an undergraduate or new graduate seeking direction in your career path, the Murshidi Program is an excellent opportunity to build your future with the support of experts and professionals from across Qatar.
