Starlink is proud to announce the successful signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Qatar’s Ministry of Labor (MOL), marking a key milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Qatari workforce. This collaboration reflects Starlink’s dedication to offering exceptional job opportunities to Qatari nationals and fostering the professional growth of Qatari graduates.
Aligned with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, the agreement underscores Starlink’s mission to contribute to the development of a skilled and sustainable national workforce. As part of the agreement, Starlink will introduce four new initiatives aimed at equipping Qatari citizens with the skills and practical experience necessary to thrive in today’s competitive labor market. These initiatives will enhance employability, provide hands-on training, and offer pathways for long-term career growth.
The first initiative, Bright STARS, is a six-month customer care training program at Starlink’s call center, aimed at Qatari fresh graduates and children of Qatari mothers. This program offers valuable work experience in a professional environment, helping participants develop key skills for their future careers. Stellar Stars, the second initiative, provides a 12-month employment opportunity for fresh Qatari graduates and children of Qatari mothers, giving them the chance to kick-start their professional journeys with potential for growth within Starlink.
Furthermore, Future Stars is an internship program developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Education. This program will offer internship placements aligned with Starlink’s upcoming recruitment needs in 2025, creating clear pathways to future employment. ALL Stars, the fourth initiative, focuses on diversity and inclusion, recruiting Qatari individuals with additional needs to further Starlink’s commitment to providing equal opportunities in the workforce. Additionally, Starlink will collaborate with the KAWADER and ISTAMAR programs to ensure that open positions are advertised and suitable candidates are recruited through these established Ministry of Labor initiatives.
This strategic partnership represents Starlink’s commitment to not only meeting regulatory requirements but also playing an active role in strengthening Qatar’s workforce. By supporting nationalization, Starlink gains access to a pool of highly trained and motivated Qatari professionals, contributing to innovation and long-term organizational stability. These initiatives are in direct alignment with Qatar’s economic vision, aiming to build a skilled, sustainable, and competitive workforce for the future.
With this MOU, Starlink continues to enhance its reputation as a responsible corporate entity, actively contributing to Qatar’s economic development while offering valuable employment opportunities to local talent.
