Compass Doha Launches Innovative Career Programme with 8billionideas
Innovative Business Simulation Programme Empowers Qatar’s Youth with Real-World Professional Experience
As part of its commitment to offering innovative educational opportunities, Compass International School Doha, a member of the Nord Anglia Education, is partnering with 8billionideas, an award-winning leader in educational innovation, to launch “The Internship.” This immersive programme allows students aged (14 to 18) to experience the realities of the professional world through a unique business simulation.
Awarded the prestigious Enterprise and Employability Award by the Sixth Form Colleges Association (SFCA), “The Internship” goes beyond traditional academic learning. It immerses students in a simulated event management company, where they tackle real-world challenges, develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and refine essential skills such as critical thinking, communication, and decision-making.
Through sophisticated business simulations, participants gain valuable experience that strengthens their university applications and enhances their competitiveness in the global marketplace. This programme also helps them build confidence and creativity while benefiting from local support.
“At Nord Anglia, we don’t just educate; we prepare future leaders,” says Liz Lamb, Executive Principal at Compass International School Doha. “The Internship programme represents our commitment to providing students with transformative experiences that build confidence, nurture creativity, and develop the professional acumen needed for success in any field.”
Aligned with the ambitions of Qatar National Vision 2030, this programme embodies the shared commitment of Nord Anglia Education and 8billionideas to preparing future generations for tomorrow’s challenges. By emphasising innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership, this initiate helps develop the talents that will shape Qatar’s future.
This innovative career programme is now accepting applications on the 8billionideas website for the upcoming term.
