Interns are thankful to Hidaya for taking such steps by Hidaya which is directly impacting their lives in a positive manner and has tremendously increase their technical capabilities due to pumping a lot of practical knowledge in a little time. Students are offered a nominal stipend so they may stand on their own feet rather be a burden on the family.
Beyond the software development, interns at Hidaya are getting training classes for career development where they discuss socio-economical issues, job markets, interviewing tips and techniques, English language and composition and Resume and cover letter writing skills, etc.
