Hear From Our Students

I signed a contract with Unilever Gulf FZE in Dubai in June 2023, (in my first year after graduation) to work as a Data Analyst & and CRM Lead, responsible for six countries in the Arabia Region. It turned out that I became the youngest full-time employee in the history of this branch without taking the path through their internships.
