Kavak's Ruwwad Graduate Program in Emiratis is a 12‑month onsite program in Dubai that rotates trainees through eight phases of the vehicle lifecycle, with a mandatory customer facing rotation and a capstone AI Automation Opportunity Map feeding Kavak GCC's AI roadmap. Trainees spend six weeks per rotation, building knowledge from the physical product to commercial, technical, financial and human layers, with milestones from onboarding to leadership panel decisions. Ideal candidates are university graduates in Management, AI, Business, Marketing, Finance or Accounting who thrive in a fast paced cross cultural setting. To apply, tailor your resume to show cross functional teamwork, AI interest, UAE market awareness, and concrete project outcomes.
Role Purpose
Trainees rotate through three core departments and a mandatory rotation in a customer facing department - spending six weeks in each. The program is designed around the automotive re-commerce lifecycle and calibrated to the specific regulatory, cultural, and competitive dynamics of the UAE market.
The capstone project — an AI Automation Opportunity Map — tasks each trainee with documenting and prioritising processes across all departments that could be improved through AI or automation. The output feeds directly into Kavak GCC's AI roadmap, ensuring the program delivers strategic value beyond talent development.
Key Responsibilities:
The 12-month program is structured in 8 phases: a 2-week onboarding, six 4–6 week rotations following the vehicle lifecycle, and a 12-week capstone period. The rotation sequence is intentional — trainees build understanding from the ground up, starting with the physical product and progressing through commercial, technical, financial, and human layers.
