Students joining the Al Darb Summer Internship Programme.
Doha, Qatar: Qatar Airways’ Al Darb Qatarisation Programme welcomed around 40 national sponsored students into its 2023 Summer Internship Programme at the induction ceremony, held at the Hyatt Regency Oryx, Doha.
These interns have joined an ongoing commitment to excellence and hard work alongside many others since the programme welcomed its first batch in 2012.
The interns will be introduced to Qatar Airways’ energetic workplace, enabling them to gain and enhance various essential career skills that will aid them after their graduation. This will provide them with the necessary insight on their future careers in the aviation industry once they graduate and will allow them to apply their knowledge into real life situations.
Qatar Airways Senior Vice-President Nationalisation and Special Projects, Nabeela Fakhri said: “We welcome all our sponsored students to our annual Summer Internship Programme. We are excited for them to gain global exposure and to learn from experienced professionals in aviation. They will be able to understand the responsibilities that comes with working at the Best Airline in the World and develop skills that will help prepare them for their future careers in the aviation industry.”
While in the Summer Internship Programme, the students will begin their journey with a one-day induction event that will guide them to their journey for their work experience during the summer. They are paired with a Line Manager to ensure that each of them makes the most of their internship experience and to get the best exposure in the aviation industry.
This year’s national interns will gain experience in several divisions within the airline including commercial, finance, information technology, human resources, corporate communications, marketing, corporate services, legal and technical divisions. When the internship programme concludes at the end of the summer, students will proudly display newly-honed skills in planning and managing resources. In addition, they will be able to exhibit personal responsibility by working on multiple assignments with tight deadlines.
Interns who participate in the Al Darb internship programme are eligible to receive course credits from a number of universities.
