Qatar
Qatarization-compliant pods aligned to Law No. 12 of 2024, with a Qatar University Academy intake and registration on the Qatar Energy supplier framework.
Qatar's nationalisation regime was codified into Law No. 12 of 2024 on the Qatarization of Jobs in the Private Sector (published 17 October 2024, in force six months later). The law establishes priority hiring, registration and nomination of nationals, template contracts, a Cabinet-approved classification of employers, incentives for compliant entities and sanctions for non-compliance. The Ministry of Labour's 2024–2030 workforce strategy targets raising the share of Qataris in private-sector employment from 17% to 20%. Sector-specific schemes — including the long-standing QatarEnergy Qatarization plan — apply to vendors operating in oil & gas.
Law 12/2024 ready.
Pods are registered, nominated and reported under the statute's incentives-and-sanctions regime from day one.

Qatar University intake of ten engineers in 2026, expanding to twenty in 2027.
