The programme comes in partnership between the employer, students and the university, each with specified responsibilities and distinct goals, he added.
He pointed out that it comes as a realisation of the directives of the President, His Highness Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who has called upon, ministers, departments and the various business sectors to shoulder their responsibilities in training and qualifying the national youths for direct entry into the labour market. The plan was also aimed at reforming and institutionalising the university to present internship programmes through common operational procedures, which preserve the distinctive feature of each specialisation, he added.
"This is in addition to enhancing the students learning through academically approved learning experiences, taking in mind that students absorb information best when learning-by-doing. Through the programme, we would be able to set up a unified internship registration for all students who fulfill the programme requirements. It also involves, intensive students preparation and career orientation through interactive pre-internship preparation," he said.
