\u201cExpo 2020\u2019s commitment to youth is in line with the UAE\u2019s vision and initiatives to empower and inspire young people. Youth are critical to everything we do at Expo 2020, and our Internship Programme is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the development of our nation\u2019s future leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Expo 2020 Dubai recently ran a successful pilot scheme for undergraduate interns. This initiative has now been expanded to a fully-fledged Internship Programme, which is open to both Emirati undergraduates and recent graduates with limited or no work experience.<\/p>\n
Internships are available across multiple Expo departments, including Real Estate and Delivery, Human Resources, International Participants, Communications and the Expo School Programme.<\/p>\n
Fatima Alloghani, Head of Expo Academy and Emiratisation \u2013 Human Resources, Workforce and Volunteers at Expo 2020 Dubai, <\/strong>said: \u201cWe encourage all eligible undergraduates and fresh graduates to apply for Expo 2020 Dubai\u2019s Internship Programme and take advantage of this truly unique opportunity for professional and personal development. We are giving Emirati youth a chance to make a meaningful contribution to, and be part of, what is set to be a regionally historic event.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and, if successful, placed in a position relevant to their field of study. Internships for recent graduates run for up to three months, while the duration of undergraduate placements is based on the requirements of students\u2019 universities.<\/p>\n Upon completion of each internship, the participant will complete an assessment and receive a performance-based letter of recommendation.<\/p>\n Abdalla BinKherbash<\/strong>, a student at American University in Dubai (AUD) who interned as an engineer within Expo\u2019s Real Estate and Delivery team, said: \u201cMy experience at Expo 2020 Dubai has been extremely valuable. I was quickly integrated into the team and assigned responsibilities that not only challenged me but also significantly boosted my learning and development. I was impressed by how immersive my internship was.\u201d<\/p>\n University students and graduates are already playing an essential role in the Expo 2020 Volunteers programme, which is open to all UAE nationals and residents over the age of 18. As the face of Expo, more than 30,000 volunteers will help to welcome the world to the UAE in 2020.<\/p>\n Expo 2020 expects to attract 25 million visits between October 2020 and April 2021, with 70 per cent of visitors projected to come from outside the UAE.<\/p>\n A celebration of human ingenuity, Expo 2020\u2019s theme, \u2018Connecting Minds, Creating the Future\u2019,<\/em> is underpinned by its three subthemes of Opportunity<\/em>, Mobility<\/em> and Sustainability<\/em>.<\/p>\n With more than 200 participants including nations, multilateral organisations, businesses and educational institutions, Expo 2020 Dubai will be one of the most inclusive World Expos in history.s<\/p>\n
