The second intake of intaji students, the employment and traineeship programme developed by twofour54 especially for UAE nationals, has celebrated its graduation with Noura Al Kaabi, Chief Executive of twofour54, a Media Zone Authority company.

Speaking at the students’ graduation ceremony, Noura Al Kaabi said: “Congratulations to our second batch of “intaji” graduates. Each of you has shown competence and dedication on this programme. Your efforts have exceeded our expectations and we wish you every success in the future.”

Each intake of intajis receives the opportunity to work with some of the world’s leading media organisations.  This group has had the chance to work on the 2012 American action-thriller the Bourne Legacy. The intajis experienced the full shoot, shadowing renowned international camera, sound and lighting professionals and they learned what is involved in shooting a high profile, Hollywood feature film.
