Duqm: The Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) and Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) will launch a two-week summer internship program on 7 June, giving 18 undergraduate students exposure to companies operating inside one of Oman’s fastest-growing industrial and logistics hubs.The programme is designed to help students see Duqm not only as a national development project but as a working economy, with companies, teams, operational demands and career paths already in place.
Students will be placed with OQ8, ASYAD Drydock, Oman Tank Terminal Company, SIMAK, Port of Duqm, ASYAD Container Terminal, Crowne Plaza Duqm and Renaissance Services.
Rather than observing operations from the sides, they will work on assignments connected to day-to-day activity across the zone.
Duqm has spent several years building industrial, logistics, maritime and energy capabilities at scale.
The next challenge is partly a talent - giving young Omanis earlier contact with the industries growing in Al Wusta and helping employers build relationships with future graduates before they enter the labor market.
