Northwestern University in Qatar’s (NU-Q) recent annual career fair drew executives, from over 24 top media companies, who helped students map out their futures. Among them was Doha Film Institute’s senior human resources officer Heba Ahmed, keen to recruit NU-Q students for a specialised internship programme, which aims to expose them to real work environments. “We usually participate in career fairs across Education City, but this year we are exclusively recruiting from NU-Q for our internship programme. After a number of years of recruiting different students we found out that students at NU-Q possess a special skill set most suitable to our needs,” she added.
