Designed to boost the skills and provide real-life work experience for final year UAE national students interested in pursuing private sector careers in services management and real estate, the program is part of KhidmahKhidmah's drive to promote hands-on learning and build professional careers for young Emiratis.

, says"At KhidmahKhidmah, we believe that everything rises and falls with leadership. Being an Emirati owned and operated business we are focused on developing and training young national leaders. The internship program gives participants the opportunity to see what the service management business is like; evaluate KhidmahKhidmah as a possible employer; and make a direct contribution to KhidmahKhidmah through an intern project providing participants with hands on experience and confidence for their future.
"we are passionate about development of leaders. Each week for the past 16 months, we have given KhidmahKhidmah staff and interns a one-hour leadership class. During these sessions we have open discussions where ideas and principles are shared between our staff. These classes add to the value of a practical, yet educational internship program.
"Over the next ten years, we aim to have former KhidmahKhidmah interns in every major company and ministry in the UAE, taking the leadership lessons they learned at KhidmahKhidmah and teaching them to the people they will lead in future."
internship program can apply for a place online at www.KhidmahKhidmah.com . There are no restrictions on courses being studied, but would-be participants must have a keen interest in Abu Dhabi's services management and real estate industry. Only two or three students will be awarded internships at any one time to ensure that mentoring experiences at the company are maximized and that students gain as much benefit from their placements as possible. Extra course credit may be awarded by the university to students on completion of the internship. -Ends-
