Apply Now!

Dear Candidate,

The Doors for application to the Young Arab Leaders Arab European Internship Exchange Program are now open!

An internship in Europe with Daimler AG is your opportunity to take your knowledge from university and apply it in a real life setting. During three to six months of the internship in Europe - the precise start and end dates and duration are agreed with the student based on college courses – students will work side by side with Daimler employees either on special projects or supporting them in daily business. Interns at Daimler are assigned important and challenging tasks and receive all the support needed to successfully accomplish them.

As well as “on the job” learning students get the opportunity to learn more about Daimler, develop or expand German language skills and familiarize with the German culture. Although students don’t have to speak German to apply, German is the working language at Daimler.

In 2011 we will offer internships in the following areas:

  • Research & Development
  • Information Technology
  • Finance & Controlling
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Procurement & Logistics
  • Operations
  • Human Resources

 To be eligible to apply:

  • be a current student and be enrolled at university during and after the internship
  • a GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • be pursuing a degree relevant to the internship content (e.g. business, IT, engineering)
  • write and speak English fluently
  • be of Arab origin
  • German language skills are an advantage for all internships on offer and are critical for individual internships
  • have good teamwork, communication and intercultural skills

Students interested in this opportunity send their application documents to Ms. Nathalie Nakad nathalie.nakad@yaleaders.org. Please include the following documents:

  •   a letter of motivation (one page) stating why you would like to participate
  •   a current CV
  •   University transcripts / certificates with grades
  •   Letters of reference from previous employers, if available

 

After an initial screening by YAL, applications will be forwarded to Daimler. Daimler will invite the top candidates to apply online. From these candidates the most suitable will be contacted to carry out a telephone interview with an HR specialist. The final decision is made by the supervisors of the internship positions, who may also carry out a telephone interview.

 Accepted students will be supported by Daimler in applying for visas and organizing work permits. Please be aware that a number of documents will need to be ready very quickly including confirmations from universities and valid passport copies.

 

Important information:

Daimler organizes and pays for accommodation and a German language course in Germany.
Students also receive a small salary during their internship, which should cover living costs.
Students are responsible for flight costs, visa costs and health insurance.

Applications will not be considered should any documents be missing
