During the visit, Seemann was briefed on an innovative intern programme initiated by Alfardan Automobiles during which students gain first hand experience of the automotive industry. One such student, currently working with Alfardan Automobiles, previously spent six months with BMW-AG in Germany.

"Initiatives like this intern programme play an important role in the education process because they expose students to different cultures and market conditions, as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of a career in the motor industry,"


Seemann said.

"The students as well as the importership benefit from a number of synergies created by the programme."

Thomas Sperlich, Senior Vice President and Director of Aftersales, Alfardan Automobiles, said the intern programme had the support of the Alfardan family as well as the entire management team at Alfardan Automobiles.

"Our Aftersales facilities have already won international recognition and awards. With this new educational platform we will position Qatar on the map of regional training venues for the automotive industry," he said.

"It will also enhance our database of potential employees and further our vision to be an 'Employer of Choice."
