Thirty-nine students from universities across Qatar are taking part in the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy's (SC's) 2017 Summer Internship Programme.

The students have been granted exclusive access to 2022 FIFA World Cup™ organisers and learned about how the tournament will benefit Qatar, the region and the world.

The SC Summer 2017 Internship Programme participants visit the Legacy Pavilion at Al Bidda Tower.

Khalid Al Khulaifi, the SC's Talent Management Manager, said: "Our Summer Internship Programme runs from June to August. The interns work in different departments, including the Technical Delivery Office, Marketing & Communications and Administration, among others. They have brought enthusiasm and fresh energy to our organisation."

The interns come from various universities, including Qatar University (QU), Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) and Texas A&M University at Qatar. Last week they attended a knowledge sharing session to gain in-depth knowledge about the mega-project and visited the SC's Legacy Pavilion, which showcases Qatar's vision for 2022.

QU student Alreem Yasser Al Ali, who joined the Communications Team, said she had been inspired by the SC's legacy plans.

"I've learned that the World Cup will leave a legacy for Qatar, the region and the world," said Al Ali. "It's great to know that the tournament will benefit countries further afield."

Al Ali added: "I have really enjoyed being an intern here. There is a healthy atmosphere which has helped me to come up with ideas. I feel very proud to have spent time with the team that will deliver the World Cup for my country in 2022. I hope one day to work for the SC."

NU-Q student Awad Mohamed Elsayed is supporting the Public Relations Team. He was particularly impressed with the Legacy Pavilion.

Elsayed said: "The Legacy Pavilion tour was an exciting and beneficial experience that employed interactive and digital tools to give us deeper insights into Qatar's journey to win the rights to host the World Cup, as well as the history of football in Qatar."

Mohammed Al Najdi, the SC's Head of Recruitment, said: "It is our aim to offer talented students the opportunity to work with us and provide them with a chance to learn and grow. It's great to hear that this year's interns have enjoyed such a positive experience."
