Year 12 BTEC Business Students Gain Valuable Work Experience

BIS Abu Dhabi's Year 12 BTEC Business students recently completed 40 hours of work experience as part of their course, working at prestigious locations such as Seaworld, The W Hotel, The Courtyard by Marriott, and Crompton Partners. We are proud to have established strong relationships with outstanding employers who are eager to support our BTEC students.

The students were matched to their areas of interest, including sales, performance, education, and guest services. They also spent time in various of the other departments to gain a comprehensive understanding of all business operations. The feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive—they found the experience extremely valuable and were impressed by the amazing people they met. Every student highly recommended the opportunities, citing the positive references, valuable contacts, and additional work experience offers, some of which may even be paid!

Practical activities are a cornerstone of the BTEC programme, helping students develop their employability skills and strengthen their applications for university, apprenticeships, and future careers. Our partnering employers are already looking forward to meeting more of our talented BTEC students next year.
