Dubai Studio City honours UAE national students on successful completion of internship programme

Jamal Al Sharif, Executive Director, Dubai Studio City, honoured the students at a special gala ceremony that was attended by business partners who had participated in the programme.

Graduates of Dubai Men's College, Higher Colleges of Technology, the students acquired industry specific skills across various avenues of media production (TV shows, documentaries, public service announcements), camera work and lighting for production, TV and radio broadcast, multimedia skills, graphic design, visual communications, journalism, post production editing for video, photography, as well as English and Arabic communications.

Alongside its commitment to promote the growth of the film industry in the region, Dubai Studio City has adopted a proactive approach to Emiratisation. The internship initiative, which drew significant interest from high performing UAE nationals keen on pursuing exciting opportunities with DSC business partners, allowed the students to translate their classroom lessons to real time workplace environments.

Spread over an area of 22 million sq ft, Dubai Studio City has 14 fully equipped sound stages, a 3.5 million sq ft back lot for outdoor shooting, commercial offices, pre-built studios, a business centre and post-production studios. The first phase of the development includes three sound stages - one 15,000 sq ft unit and two units of 25,000 sq ft each.
