Examples of Positive
Internships and Training Programs
Alanoud, a second year software engineer
student, was asked to test a software program.
Whenever she tried to run the program, it
would crash. She was able to find seven bugs
that were affecting the program.
Jafar worked in business development and
performed an analysis of the training market
opportunities for a Fortune 100 company. His
recommendations were well received by senior
leaders across the company.
A major U.S. company offered summer
internships to over 20 students. The following
year the company offered employment to most
of these students. Students will go through a
two-year training program before being
assigned to their jobs at the company’s Saudi
operations.
