Internship Program at the Al Qasimi Foundation- UAE

The Al Qasimi Foundation has a program for students who want to learn about public policy. It's for undergraduates and graduates, and it lasts for up to three months. This program is great for students who plan to go to graduate school or want to use what they've learned in real-life research.

During the program, students will work with different people from around the world who speak many languages. They'll get hands-on experience and work on projects that help the Foundation make a difference in the community. Projects could involve reading and summarizing articles, doing research in the field, collecting and analyzing data, making videos or other media projects, writing reports, and helping with office tasks.

Students need to follow the Foundation's rules and behave professionally. They'll also get to write a policy brief or create something creative, which will be shared on the Foundation's website. The Foundation provides a place to stay, transportation, and some money to cover living expenses during the program. But students have to pay for their plane tickets and other personal expenses.
