Qatar Insurance Group concluded its ‘2025 Summer Internship Programme’ with a celebratory closing ceremony Wednesday.

The programme ran from June to July and welcomed a select group of high-achieving high school students from across Qatar, chosen for their academic excellence and interest in exploring future careers in the insurance and financial services sectors.

Designed to offer students meaningful insight into the professional world, the structured internship provided participants with hands-on experience in a real business environment.

Under the guidance of QIC’s seasoned professionals, interns were mentored throughout their learning journey, with support continuing even after the programme’s conclusion.

Throughout the summer, the interns participated in a wide range of activities across the insurance value chain, including underwriting, claims management, customer experience, and risk analysis.

They also gained exposure to the group’s supporting departments, such as information technology, human resources, and legal affairs.

In addition to on-the-job training, the students participated in interactive workshops and collaborative group projects, allowing them to apply newly acquired skills in realistic business scenarios.

The programme’s core objective was to spark student interest in the insurance industry while cultivating essential soft skills such as teamwork, effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Rashid al-Buainain, chief administrative officer at QIC Group, praised the interns for their dedication and enthusiasm: “Our summer internship programme is a key pillar of QIC’s commitment to empowering young talent and preparing the future workforce.

“Each year, we are inspired by the curiosity, drive, and fresh ideas these students bring. It’s a privilege to create an environment where they can learn, grow, and envision their future careers. As a national institution, we see investing in youth as a direct investment in Qatar’s future, and we remain steadfast in that mission.”

Salem Ahmad al-Mansoori, one of the interns, said: “I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to intern at QIC this summer. It was my first exposure to a real work environment, and I got to see how things operate behind the scenes. Everyone was incredibly supportive, and I gained valuable knowledge about the insurance industry and its importance.”

Ahmed Mohamed Mahmood added: “This experience gave me a clearer picture of how companies function and how teams work together across departments. I’ve also learned the value of strong communication and organisational skills. I now feel more confident and prepared for my future studies and career.”
