This six-month training program aims to introduce participants to the technical and operational aspects of the sector, providing them with valuable hands-on experience and mentorship under the guidance of seasoned project managers and operations heads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The program emphasizes three core areas of development: health, safety, and environment (HSE) awareness; technical training that starts from the basics to accommodate those with no prior technical knowledge; and behavior training to ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. Participants will gain practical knowledge of plant operations and maintenance, covering critical aspects of plant functionality and operational department activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-95687\" src=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-510x382.jpeg 510w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM-1080x810.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-18-at-1.09.23-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">In addition to the technical and operational training, the program addresses workplace behavior, equipping both participants and onsite teams with the skills to identify and address inappropriate conduct, such as unlawful discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment, victimization, and vilification. This holistic approach ensures a supportive environment for all involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">ACCIONA is proud to highlight the significant progress made in Qatar in fostering diversity within the industry. Among our water staff in Qatar, women in Operations &amp; Maintenance (O&amp;M) team represents more than 30% of the workforce which is a huge achievement in the industry. This achievement reflects not only ACCIONA\u2019s commitment to organizational policies promoting inclusion but also Qatar\u2019s dedication to social and economic development through gender diversity. However, ACCIONA recognizes that the journey does not stop here. The company remains committed to increasing these numbers, further strengthening women\u2019s participation in the workforce and contributing to the nation\u2019s long-term vision for a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The program is aimed at women who have a strong connection with the local culture and society and demonstrate an eagerness to develop technical skills relevant to the water industry. Following the completion of the six-month training program, ACCIONA will evaluate participants&#8217; performance and consider offering formal employment opportunities based on role availability at the company\u2019s water plants. Participants will gain experience in O&amp;M projects such as Ras Abu Fontas RO desalination plant and Umm al Houl RO desalination plant, preparing them for a seamless transition into the water industry workforce.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The program marks an important step forward in ACCIONA\u2019s commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the technical workforce. By creating opportunities for women to excel in traditionally underrepresented fields, ACCIONA aims to pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">ACCIONA is a global company and a leader in the provision of regenerative solutions for a decarbonized economy.
