Pemo partners with Hale Education Group to provide UAE students with summer internship programme
The programme, spearheaded by Pemo Co-Founder, Ayham Gorani and Peter Davos, Founder and CEO of Hale Education, has been uniquely developed to provide students with a firm grasp of working in a successful UAE home-grown FinTech, combining research and practical skills that should help support their Further Education journey.
During the programme, students will be able to experience working on a range of different areas of the business, from product and software development, marketing and operations. It is hoped that by introducing students to the fast-paced world of startups, it will help aid their understanding of how to run a business, giving them a real view of entrepreneurialism.
For the last twelve years, Hale has helped GCC students secure acceptances to leading US universities, including Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and Ivy League schools.
'Given the emergence of FinTech as one of the drivers of the global - and regional economy - and Pemo's phenomenal trajectory as a thriving UAE business, students will now have the ability to not only apply their learning in a professional setting, but meaningfully contribute to Pemo's growth story,' says Peter Davos, founder and CEO of Hale Education. 'Internships are a key component in the college admissions process, particularly those at firms like Pemo, in which interns work on small projects that lead to real impact', he added.
The successful candidates are set to work closely with the Founders at Pemo on a series of interactive and real-life business and research tasks.
Commenting on the initiative, Ayham Gorani, Co-Founder of Pemo said: 'We are excited to expose local students to the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and finance, empowering them with real-world skills through structured work experiences. By working directly with High School students, we hope to inspire them about the opportunities that exist in finance and technology careers, and also give them a taste of entrepreneurial life.
'Perhaps one day these students will go on to lead and start their own businesses, and so we're excited to play a role in opening their eyes to what is possible. We could think of no better partner than Hale Education to do this with, and we're looking forward to supporting the development of the next generation of UAE FinTech talent.'
Pemo started back in 2022, with the company scaling rapidly following a series of investments and product developments that now sees the company work with over 5,000 customers, providing them with fast, transparent, and simplified invoice payment and expense management solutions, as well as smart corporate cards.
Hale students interested in applying for the internship programme must submit a resume, transcript, and test scores to Hale Education.

UAE hotels offer free waterpark tickets, chance to win all-expense paid trip during summer
Hotels in the UAE have ramped up offerings, services and experiences to boost occupancy levels during the ongoing summer holidays for individuals and families, offering free tickets to water parks, aqua aerobics and yoga sessions among others. As tourist inflow slows down during the summer, hotels in the country increasingly target residents for staycations to boost occupancy levels. A Sharjah hotel has adjusted its beach opening hours in the morning to allow early risers to experience the serenity of sunrise by the sea. 'We also host daily aqua aerobics and periodic yoga sessions to promote fitness and mindfulness as part of every guest's stay,' Iftikhar Hamdani, area general manager for Northern Emirates at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel and Coral Beach Resort, Sharjah, said. He added that to improve the experiences of family guests, the hotel has introduced live cooking stations, along with peacocks and rabbits in the gardens. Without sharing figures, Hamdani confirmed that these initiatives have helped increase occupancy rates at the hotels this year as compared to last year. 'Our aggressive social media campaign has significantly boosted direct bookings this year, breaking records in both telephonic and online reservations through our website. Additionally, our all-inclusive package has positively impacted occupancy rates from the local market compared to last year, and our enhanced food quality and live cooking stations have greatly impressed our staycation guests,' he added. Meanwhile, Central Hotels and Resorts added new dining venues, upgraded all rooms, included a fully automated in-room guest experience system, and a dynamic pricing strategy, according to Abdulla Ahmad Ali Al Abdulla Al Ansari, chief operating officer and group general manager. "All restaurant menus and payment systems will move to QR code access in the coming months. To prepare for the busy season, a lively entertainment programme will launch across all hotels, featuring live DJs,' he added. Al Ansari is optimistic that the planned initiatives and improvements will help drive stronger business performance in the coming months. Kempinski Hotels announced a new Double Discovery Dollar Promotion for members, allowing guests to earn twice the Discovery Dollars (D$) on all eligible direct bookings from August 1 to September 30, 2025. The limited-time promotion is available across the entire Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) Discovery portfolio, which includes more than 850 hotels across 45 brands worldwide, doubling the earning potential for travellers seeking indulgent dining, spa treatments, and other experiences. 'Meaningful hospitality begins with understanding what makes each guest unique. Our loyalty philosophy is simple — recognise individuality, reward curiosity and inspire new journeys,' said Yannick Brandner, director of corporate loyalty, Kempinski Hotels. Rixos Premium Dubai is offering guests who stay three nights or longer tickets to the world's largest waterpark in Atlantis to enjoy a day full of thrills.
