Finding the way to excel…

The idea of the Arabian NextGen Internship program is based on the experience and the insights that Tharawat gained while working closely with family businesses in the region.

The very specific challenges of business families and especially their junior members, their concerns and needs, call for more tailor-made and customized services, dedicated to those who are next-in-line!

Many members of the young generation ask themselves: Do I want to join the family business and if so, in what role?

How can I make sure that I acquire the right set of skills to perform well in my family business?

How can I acquire skills to innovate in my family business, in my own business or in my business network?

How can I grow in the family business?

What do I do if I do not join the family business right away?

How can I build my own business network, without relying on my family’s network?

Where can I gain experience, without relying on my family’s name?

Getting targeted experience outside the family business can be a great help in facing these questions…
