Facebook partners up with the American University in Dubai to provide exciting opportunities for its students

Facebook partnered up with the Mohammed bin Rashid School for Communication (MBRSC) at the American University in Dubai (AUD) to launch a blueprint program with the aim of empowering pre-professional students with Facebook Advertising knowledge.

What the program will basically do is introduce the students to partners for internship opportunities, and provide them with a real-life practical experience that will prepare them for their future careers.

The pilot program is targeting 150 students for a 6-months course and will be available in Arabic and English. The program will begin with an online course that will last for a month, which will then be followed by in-person training for four weeks.

Right after that, the students will be invited to a career fair where they can meet and connect with brands and agencies with available internships. After the internship, the students receive their Blueprint Certification Exam to complete the course.

Dr. Carol Melhem-Moufarrej, associate dean of MBRSC at AUD commented on the partnership saying: “Here at AUD, and the MBRSC, we are pleased with this privileged agreement. This will facilitate our students’ ability to earn the Facebook Certification and an internship at prominent media and marketing companies in Dubai through an exclusive job fair organized by Facebook.”

Yasser Noueiry, Agency Partner at Facebook stated that they aim to equip talented rising marketing students with knowledge of Facebook’s apps and services. “Through our partnership with AUD, we look forward to empowering a new generation of marketers in the region and inspire other universities in the region to offer Facebook’s Blueprint programs amongst junior students,” he said.
