Internships
Hult is working closely with many corporate partners to organize internships at both international and regional corporations in Dubai.
Last year, a number of Dubai students chose to take up an internship during their elective modules. Internships were wideranging and included analyzing the financial sector investments in telecom and conducting marketing research for a healthy fast food restaurant chain in UAE. While these internships were not unaccredited, they were vaulable opportunities for students to gain genuine work experience in the region. In some cases, students went on to work with their internship company upon graduation.

| “As part of the Hult program in Dubai, students have the option of doing an internship during one of the elective modules. This opportunity, along with the endless networking events which Hult helped organize, drove me to apply for a position in the supply chain department of Johnson & Johnson. Despite some initial challenges in fixing the schedule between classes and work, I managed to secure a position with J&J as an Assistant Demand Planner (thanks to the flexibility at Hult as well as the great advice and support from the staff). This internship has opened up my career path and nine months later I am still working with J&J and really enjoying it!” |
