Boeing selects Emirati students for International Business Internship

"By interning with the world's largest aerospace company, these students will be given a chance to contribute to projects that will not only have a measurable impact on our company but also on the aerospace industry," said Jeffrey Johnson, president of Boeing Middle East. "This is a tremendous opportunity and I would like to congratulate the students who have been selected to represent the UAE on the program. In addition to being part of our longstanding commitment to workforce development in the UAE through partnership and innovation, this program is specifically designed to share Boeing's knowledge and experience at an academic level."

As part of the program, the students will work in BCA's Commercial Aviation Services (CAS), Marketing Analysis and International Marketing divisions from January to June 2013, while earning academic credits from their educational institutions. In addition to meaningful work experience, interns will be provided with training, tours, informational interviews, mentorship and access to executive roundtables, allowing them to gain first-hand knowledge of the aerospace industry.

The International Business Intern Co-Op Program is one of a number of educational and training initiatives that Boeing supports in the UAE and around the region as part of its efforts to contribute towards workforce development. Boeing has also previously partnered with educational institutions, such as the UAE Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), whose students benefit from ongoing Boeing-led training and mentorship programs.
