How to get an internship as a non-saudi?
Salam Alaikum everyone, I heard that KFUPM usually doesn’t provide internships for non-Saudi students, so I’m wondering how difficult it is to secure one independently. I’d really appreciate advice from current or former non-Saudi students who managed to get internships on their own or anyone who knows about getting an internship. My major is AI & Cybersecurity.
A few questions I have:
Which companies are more open to non-Saudi interns?
Is it easier to get remote internships instead?
When should I start applying?
What skills/projects helped you stand out?
Did networking/referrals play a big role?
Are internships in Saudi realistically possible for non-Saudis, or should I focus internationally?
Any advice or personal experiences would help a lot. Thanks!
