Internships for Students in Sharjah

Students living in Sharjah can join in-person programmes in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, or participate virtually from home. Virtual options include psychology, AI and technology, and selected creative programmes.

Programmes are delivered by host organisations and specialist providers that Intelligent Partners vets for programme quality, track record and valid trade licences. Groups are small, and each provider assigns a mentor.

Why Explore a Career at School?

Liking biology isn't the same as liking a hospital ward. A few days inside the real thing usually settles it, either way.

Questions Parents Ask

Can Grade 10 and Grade 11 students do internships in Dubai?

Yes. Intelligent Partners arranges internships, observerships and career-exposure programmes for students in Grades 9–13 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Age requirements vary by programme.

Can high school students do medical internships in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Through Intelligent Partners, students can join hospital or clinic-based medical observerships in Abu Dhabi. They observe doctors and clinical teams at work, with no patient care or procedures.

Are there mechanical engineering internships in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Through Intelligent Partners, students see CNC machining, laser cutting and welding in a working manufacturing workshop, and develop their own engineering design concept.

How long are the internships?

It depends on the programme. The Abu Dhabi clinic-based medical observership, for example, runs for five days, three hours a day.

Why is there a fee?

Host organisations set aside their professionals' time to supervise and mentor students, away from their own work. Intelligent Partners adds its own support, from choosing the right programme to arranging the place.

Do students receive a certificate?

Yes. Every student who completes a programme receives a Certificate of Completion.
