Tweetbird & Gumby are right on! They seem to be the only ones who have a insiders view of Qatarization. The problem is the system; how Qatarization is being organized and managed.
Main problem with Qatarization => system and training.
It's not the Qatari but the training programs and oversight of these programs. My college here is one of the new technical training colleges that is training (mostly) Qatari men from QP and Karama (among other companies). These companies illustrate the wrong and right approach to training these men. QP doesn't seem to care about training these men. They just send them to the college and hope for the best. BUT, Karama is deeply involved in their students' training. They regularly visit the training facility and meet with the students. They appoint managers to stay in touch with the students.
If more companies took the approach of Karama, then Qatarization might be more successful.
