Dubai, UAE – 27 April 2026: Bayut and dubizzle, part of homegrown unicorn – Dubizzle Group, continue to demonstrate their strong commitment to developing young talent and empowering the next generation of professionals in the real estate and technology sectors.

Every year, the companies engage with students and graduates through internship programs, industry connect sessions, and participation in university career fairs organised by leading institutes including Heriott Watt, Middlesex University, American University of Sharjah and others, offering first-hand exposure to dynamic, real-world work environments.

Over the years, Bayut and dubizzle have welcomed 178 interns, 106 of whom have already transitioned into full-time roles, contributing their skills, creativity and passion to the growth of the organisations. At Dubizzle Group, internships are viewed as a strategic talent pipeline rather than short-term support, with programmes designed to identify and accelerate high-potential students with strong learning agility, enabling them to contribute effectively from the outset.

“Supporting young talent is a cornerstone of our strategy,” said Suzanne Gandy, Director of Human Resources at Bayut and dubizzle. “We are committed to providing students and graduates with the guidance, tools and opportunities they need to grow professionally. Watching our interns evolve into full-time contributors who make a tangible impact is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work.”

Bayut and dubizzle’s programs are designed to align with the UAE and Dubai’s vision of empowering youth and fostering innovation. By offering a vibrant, inclusive and growth-oriented work environment, the companies aim not only to support individual career development but also to contribute to the advancement of the broader PropTech industry in the region.

Suzanne added, “We combine a structured onboarding experience with meaningful business exposure. Interns engage in a blend of self-paced digital learning and function-specific workshops, equipping them with both organisational context and role clarity. Each intern follows a clearly defined learning journey that includes shadowing, mentorship from subject matter experts, and progressively taking ownership of components within live projects.”

A core principle is learning by doing, with interns embedded within active workstreams rather than positioned as observers, significantly strengthening both their confidence and capability. This is supported by close collaboration between central L&D teams and business units, ensuring that learning remains practical, relevant, and aligned with business priorities, while Talent Development teams continuously assess skill gaps and map individual growth trajectories to maximise long-term potential.

Bayut and dubizzle actively contribute to career fairs in reputable universities around the country, such as the American University of Sharjah, providing students and graduates with valuable exposure to the real estate and technology sectors. These engagements have been highly successful, allowing the companies to connect with emerging talent, showcase career opportunities and strengthen their commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals.

Farah Dardas, Bayut intern, said: “Joining Bayut as an intern has been an eye-opening experience. Bayut has given me the opportunity to take the academic knowledge I gained at university and apply it to real, hands-on projects. I feel supported and guided every step of the way, which has empowered me to grow both professionally and personally, gaining practical experience that will be invaluable for my future career.”

Through internships, industry engagement, and career-focused initiatives, Bayut and dubizzle continue to play an active role in preparing young professionals for the future while empowering them to shape the future of the UAE’s PropTech sector.

Dr. Fadi Aloul, Dean of the AUS College of Engineering, emphasised the value of AUS’ partnership with Bayut and dubizzle in supporting students’ career readiness and professional success. “Bayut and dubizzle have been a valued partner in advancing AUS’ commitment to preparing graduates who are ready to contribute from day one in fast-evolving industries. Partnerships like this are important because they connect academic learning with real-world practice, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge, strengthen their professional skills and gain exposure to the expectations of today’s workplace. The success of our students in both internship and full-time roles reflects not only the quality of talent at AUS, but also the strength of an educational approach closely aligned with industry needs. We value this partnership for the meaningful opportunities it creates for our students and for its contribution to developing future talent for the UAE’s innovation-driven economy,” he said.

For organisations looking to build impactful internship programmes, a few principles stand out:

• Treat internships as a long-term talent investment
• Balance structured learning with real ownership
• Prioritise mentorship and hands-on exposure
• Continuously assess and personalise development journeys

When executed well, internship programmes do more than create learning opportunities. They build future-ready talent that is already integrated, aligned, and equipped to contribute from day one.
