Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) welcomed the best and brightest Business & Marketing students from colleges and universities in the Middle East, North Africa, and the United Kingdom who have been selected to participate in this year's edition of the award-winning DSS Apprenticeship Program. Rana Al-Amoudi, student at Effat College, has been selected to represent Saudi Arabia in the third edition of the program, which is the only educational initiative of its kind in the Middle East, providing undergraduate business administration and marketing students from several countries the unique opportunity of gaining intensive experience as interns working on the largest and most successful summer retail and entertainment event in the region. Al-Amoudi, alongside eight other students, is currently spending an intensive on-the-job training during Dubai Summer Surprises running from June 19 - Aug. 22, 2008. The apprentices will witness, audit, and take part in various initiatives including marketing & media relations as well as participation at the newly revamped Modhesh Fun City and various in-mall activities. “Rana Al-Amoudi is one of our brightest students and we believe that she is well qualified for the mission,” said Dr. Haifa Jamal Al-Lail, dean of Effat. __
