Work Experience
Work experience helps students to develop their personal work ethic, helps them to investigate the employment market and make their career choice, and prepares them for an active role in the UAE work place.
It ensures that HCT students are:
- well placed to take advantage of the growing number of graduate opportunities available within the UAE, and,
- confident that they have the necessary skills and experience to become significant participants in building the UAE’s workforce.
All HCT programs feature a work experience course of at least four weeks. To graduate from any HCT program, students must satisfactorily complete a period of work experience as specified by their program.
During work experience students should:
- take advantage of the opportunities given to them to learn, practice and gain an understanding of the practical applications learned in the classroom
- take the knowledge they have gained from work placement back to the classroom to enhance and motivate further learning
- be aware of and practice the professional ethics that are required in the world of work, and
- think about directions and opportunities in their future careers.
International Work Placement
Work experience placements are normally within the UAE. However there are a variety of work experience opportunities for HCT students to gain international experience in many programs. Such opportunities are promoted by the HCT as valuable preparation for the world of work in view of the UAE’s unique position on the international scene. International work placement opportunities include language training, attendance at conferences and study tours to a range of countries around the world.
At the HCT international work experience also includes language training, attendance at international conferences as well as study tours to a range of countries around the world.
