Hire a graduate
Tell us the role and the specialism. The careers team comes back with people who have finished the programme and the placement inside it, so the reference on the CV is a company you can ring.
Employers
Hire from TIIB
Every student on a two-year diploma completes an internship before they graduate, so the CV in front of you already has Dubai work on it.
You are hiring someone who has sat in an office, missed a deadline once, and found out what that costs.
Hosting an intern
What a placement commits you to.
- Stipend
- Up to AED 1,000/month
- Hours
- Up to 20 a week
- Starts
- Month four
- Matched by
- Specialism
Twenty hours a week is the ceiling UAE rules set for a student, and the stipend inside it is paid on performance rather than as a flat wage.
What you get
Three things that are true of anyone the careers team sends you.
Assessed on work
Projects, presentations and a live brief carry the marks, not only examinations. What a transcript says about someone is closer to what you would see from them in a first month.
Shortlists that are short
Business and digital technologies, down to the specialism, so a shortlist is people who studied the thing you are hiring for rather than everyone graduating that term.
One contact, not a portal
You deal with a named person in the careers team. Nothing to register for, no listing to post, and one reply rather than an automated acknowledgement.
Two ways in
Both start with the same form. Say which one you want and it reaches the person who handles it.
Host a paid intern
You write a brief, we match a student studying that subject, and the placement runs inside their programme rather than beside it.
What hosting an intern involves
Placements are scheduled around teaching, which is the part most employers ask about first.
- 1
You write the brief
A page is enough. The work, the team the student sits with, and the skills it needs. Shadowing is not a brief, and the placement gets marked, so there has to be something to mark.
- 2
We match a student to it
We match a student from the specialism your brief names, handle the introduction, and put the agreement in writing before anyone starts.
- 3
The work is assessed
The placement is assessed inside the programme, so a tutor stays involved and attendance is somebody's job rather than a favour you have to chase.
If you need more than one student, or a rotation that runs across the year, say so in the form. That is a conversation rather than a different process.
Who you would be meeting
Grouped by what someone can do on the first morning rather than by the certificate they hold.

The network behind every placement
TIIB holds direct agreements with 22 companies under the Industry Connect Internship Program, run with Equitoria Global. Each one commits a company to host students on real work rather than on a tour of the office.
The network covers trading, retail, food, automotive, logistics, media and technology, and most of the companies in it are founder-run. If you would rather join that group than host a single placement, say so in the form and the conversation starts there.
Questions people ask
How do I hire a graduate or host an intern?
Send the form on this page and say which of the two you want. It reaches the careers team rather than the admissions queue, and a named person there replies within one working day. Naming the specialism you are hiring for turns the first reply into a list of people rather than a set of questions.
What does the agreement commit us to?
Real work rather than a tour of the office, a brief with something in it to mark, and a stipend inside the 20-hour weekly ceiling UAE rules set for students. Attendance is tracked by TIIB rather than chased by you. Ask the careers team for the wording before you commit to anything.
Can we hire the intern when the placement ends?
Talk to the careers team about it. Hiring a graduate and hosting an intern are the same conversation with the same people, and because the placement is assessed inside the student's programme, anything that changes its shape goes through them first.
