100 Engineering Students to Compete for Internship

• Trojan Holding launches countrywide vocational initiative to give the UAE’s engineering students essential on-the-job experience.
• Ten-month program will give 100 students the chance to shine in initial two-day trial
• Top two students from each group will then be hand selected for full internship working directly with the CEO, Engineer Hamad Al Ameri

June 19, 2016: Abu Dhabi: A leading UAE construction firm has issued an open challenge to find the most innovative engineering students in the country.
Trojan will give 100 students the chance to get ahead in one of the most competitive employment markets in the country.

The ‘100 Trojan Young Engineers’ initiative is the brainchild of the CEO Hamad Al Ameri, who as an Engineer by trade, understands better than most how essential their skills will be as the UAE builds towards the vision of a sustainable infrastructure.

Each month a group of ten students, put forward by their university, will spend two full days with Trojan’s team of in-house engineers as they manage the planning, design and execution process of various construction projects.

The top two students will then be selected from each group for the month-long internship based on them demonstrating the right attributes, such as enthusiasm, practical skills, courage and leadership.

Eng. Al Ameri said: “The 100 Trojan Young Engineers initiative presents an exclusive advantage for students to gain tactical experience and be exposed to complex problem solving scenarios that arise in execution phase of a project.

"Our main goal is to make a difference in the lives of these students by providing them with a platform that allows them to extend their educational knowledge into the skills and tactics required in a practical, corporate workplace."

The 100 Trojan Young Engineers initiative runs from June 2016 until March 2017 and is open to fourth year engineering students with a GPA of 3.0 and above.
The students selected for the month long internship will gain a unique experience at an internationally acclaimed establishment with projects ranging from infrastructure, mass housing, low rise to high rise, MEP works, concrete production, steel structure and façade glassing.

The program spearheads Trojan’s bid to foster a new generation of engineering leaders offering them the first taste of the practical experience that will allow them to contribute the UAE’s construction sector.

Trojan Holding have teamed up with several universities, and are also encouraging others to get in touch to book places for their students.
