Internship Opportunities for Students & Grads

If you’re a student, recent graduate, or just starting out, internships can help you build experience without needing full-time job history. Companies across the UAE offer internships to people who want to learn on the job and understand how workplaces function. These roles often last a few weeks to a few months and can be part-time or full-time depending on what the company needs.

Who Can Apply for Internships?

Most internships are open to college students, university graduates, or people who are in between studies and work. Some internships require you to be enrolled in a school or have permission from your university. Others are more flexible and allow freshers to apply directly without needing enrollment proof. Age limits are usually not strict, but many internships target those under 30.

Types of Internships Available

• Marketing and social media internships
• Engineering and IT training programs
• Business and finance internships
• Graphic design and content writing roles
• Retail, hotel, and customer support internships
• Medical and hospital-related internships (with basic approval)

Paid vs Unpaid Internships

Some companies offer a basic monthly allowance, free meals, or transport for interns. Others offer experience only. Always read the job post carefully to check if there’s any pay or support provided. While unpaid internships may not give money, they often help you get hired faster once you’re done.

Best Cities in UAE for Internships

Most internships happen in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but there are also options in Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. Large businesses, media companies, hospitals, banks, and hotels often run regular internship programs — especially during summer or after exams.

What You’ll Need to Apply

• A short CV with your name, contact info, and any school projects
• Cover letter explaining why you want the internship
• Copy of your passport or Emirates ID
• University letter or internship request (if required)

How to Find Internships That Fit You

Some internships are shared through school career offices, but many companies post them online. We collect internship openings daily and post them here to help you apply early. Some companies ask for email applications; others use simple Google Forms or walk-in sessions for interviews.

Internships That Can Turn Into Jobs

Many employers prefer to hire interns who already know their work process. So if you perform well during the internship, there’s a chance it could turn into a job offer. This happens often in digital marketing, accounting, tech support, and HR departments.
