Amman: The Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) has announced the enrollment of a new cohort of engineering students in the fifth round of the Airbus Internship Program, part of the CPF’s International Training Program.
According to Jordan News Agency, the six-month training will take place at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France, under the guidance of specialists in aeronautical engineering, simulation systems, and air navigation. Four students were selected for this round: Farah Al-Abous from Al Hussein Technical University, Ayham Al-Hamouri from the University of Jordan, Lara Oti from Princess Sumaya University for Technology, and Yousef Al-Shanti from Petra University.
During the internship, they will engage in scientific research and advanced engineering applications, gaining hands-on experience in a global work environment. The CPF highlighted that this initiative stems from its continued collaboration with Airbus, which began in 2017 to offer high-quality training opportunities for Jordanian youth at international companies.
In preparation for the internship, the students participated in a series of workshops in March through the CPF’s Makerspace program. These included training in digital manufacturing, 3D printing, and prototype development using advanced tools such as laser cutting. Additional sessions covered basic French language skills, documentation, and photography.
Launched under the CPF’s Economic Participation Track, the International Training Program aims to empower talented and academically distinguished Jordanian youth by offering practical training experiences at leading global institutions. The program seeks to build technical, cognitive, and interpersonal skills through real-world training with organizations such as Airbus and the French national space agency (CNES). Participants are exposed to the latest global innovations and cross-cultural experiences, equipping them to return as change agents in their respective fields.
