BHC actively offers internships for students
from local and overseas higher institutions. The
programme is designed to develop the skills and
capacity of the local youth, to prepare them in
their future endeavours. BHC continues to mentor
students from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD),
Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB) and Politeknik
Brunei (PB) through internships. In average, the
company has 10 to 15 interns being attached
at various departments at one time. In addition
to the internship programmes, BHC awards top
students and academic projects to UBD, UTB and PB
respectively as a form of motivation and incentive
for academic achievements.
To further the company’s commitment to build
platforms for the future generation, through its
magazine ‘Butra Home Concept’, BHC introduced
the ‘Future Designs’ column to showcase the
exceptional talent and capabilities of the local
youth. The column has been featuring the works
of students from the School of Architecture and
Interior Design, Politeknik Brunei since 2017.
